It's pretty much standard for a lot of the photo sharing sites, and for image display sections of other social networking sites, etc. My guess is that it's lawerspeak for "if one of your images gets used in our promotional material (such as, say, a screenshot) you can't sue us or bill us", but it's really worded much to broadly. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
