Microsoft & content on your MSN Spaces Blog

Did you know that Microsoft owns anything that you might post on MSN Spaces?  Photographs, text, anything.  From the terms of service:

For materials you post or otherwise provide to Microsoft related to the MSN Web Sites (a "Submission"), you grant Microsoft permission to (1) use, copy, distribute, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, reproduce, edit, modify, translate and reformat your Submission, each in connection with the MSN Web Sites, and (2) sublicense these rights, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Microsoft will not pay you for your Submission.

Even funnier is the fact that if you Google "MSN Spaces", the top hit you get is the Boing Boing post that alerted us to this issue. Tee hee!  Yeah, you know...I think I'll stick with Blogger.
