Not exactly on topic, but worth hearing.

Geocities and Yahoo recently merged and are now trying to, in their Terms of
Service contract, take intellectual property rights away from their users,
by forcing their users to sign the contract before they can access their
accounts.  Current accounts.  I can't even delete my account with them
without agreeing that what I put there is theirs to copyright.

I sent them an email demanding the account be removed and that I did NOT
agree to their Terms of Service.

We've been discussing 'copylefting' here, but I don't think anyone wants to
see their work outright stolen.  It's worth looking into, folks.
