This includes a permanent right for expert and its associated systems and companies to make use of them in any way they see fit, including but not limited to use in advertising and promotional material. This means you can continue to do as you please with your photos and other materials uploaded but by adding these items to the expert collection/system you are granting expert the right to also do as it pleases with them"

How's that for creating an image library on the cheap? You do the work, they make all the money without even telling you. I suspect most of the users on the mentioned site are totally oblivious to the fact that their work is being sold.

be careful out there

Has a topic been rasied on their forum about this to let the members know ? Would be interesting to know how long the topic remained visible and what comments were made ?
