Concerning Intellectual property

[rilawild]

Hi,

My 2 cents worth is that the phrase "once posted, they become property of the BDSMLibrary" certainly gives the impression that the author is consenting to give their intellectual property to the library. i.e. that once posted they no longer have rights to reuse their posting since they have relinquished those rights to the BDSMLibrary - something that obviously worries authors.

Whereas it appears that the intention is that the BDSMLibrary only want non-exclusive rights to publish and edit any content that is posted. i.e. once posted the BDSMLibrary may continue to use and edit the content, but that the original author may still do whatever they like with their property (with the exclusion of revoking the right that they have granted the BDSMLibrary).

It might be best if the phrase regarding "becoming the property of BDSMLibrary" were updated to be more in line with the faqs regarding granting of non-exclusive rights - unless of course the intention is that the authors of blogs etc give up their rights to the library (which is actually what the rules are currently saying).
