(from /.) hey, all you (us) aol instant message users. pls do take note of their new terms of service. of special interest is the "Content You Post" section. a little snippet: "'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." . . . that's right, from here on any image, word, drawing, photo you post to AIM is theirs to do whatever they want with. . . really. not joking. . . . sounds like my firm probably ought to go ahead with that ichat encryption software we've been eyeing.
