As slashdot reports, AOL just released new terms of service: Now they are allowed to use all of the content anyone is posting or generating with one of their products (e.g. AIM) and reproduce them for their own purposes. Mh, I can´t really understand that a company does this, I mean, what for? Internet users are *still* concerned about security reasons, and then they want to play BigBrother? An excerpt from the tos: „In addition, by posting Content on an AIM Product, you grant AOL, its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, assigns, agents and licensees the irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide right to reproduce, display, perform, distribute, adapt and promote this Content in any medium. You waive any right to privacy. You waive any right to inspect or approve uses of the Content or to be compensated for any such uses.“
