Question...does AOL get the rights to their users web page content...like this?? "If you've got a website at www.Geocities.com, I'd suggest vacating. Now that Yahoo and Geocities have merged, they have a new Terms of Service agreement. According to section 8 of this agreement, all material you post on Yahoo/Geocities becomes their intellectual property. They have full copyright and permission to do whatever they want with it. Of the other free website providers I've investigated, none have this or anything like it in their contract. People that I know are leaving Geocities in droves, like rats from a sinking ship. I fully expect Geocites, currently the largest collection of free websites on the net, to be a ghost town in a matter of weeks, maybe months, and I expect Yahoo's stock will suffer for it."
