<font face="Arial">The upcoming (July 1) change to the PayPal terms
of service was just pointed out to me, specifically about giving
them all rights to anything you publish or post using their
"services". Quote below:<br>
</font><br>
<em>“When providing us with content or posting content (in each case
for publication, whether on- or off-line) using the Services, you
grant the PayPal Group a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual,
irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers)
right to exercise any and all copyright, publicity, trademarks,
database rights and intellectual property rights you have in the
content, in any media known now or in the future. Further, to the
fullest extent permitted under applicable law, you waive your
moral rights and promise not to assert such rights against the
PayPal Group, its sublicensees or assignees. You represent and
warrant that none of the following infringe any intellectual
property right: your provision of content to us, your posting of
content using the Services, and the PayPal Group’s use of such
content (including of works derived from it) in connection with
the Services.”<br>
