RE: FLASH: WARNING!! GEOCITIES CLAIMS OWNERSHIP (etc., misc. shouting)

[Jeremy Pinkham]

This was announced when the purchase of Geocities by Yahoo went through.

Since that time, there has been a considerable amount of protest, and Yahoo

once again changed the Geocities Terms of Service.  They still claim the

right to use material on your Geocities site for purposes of promoting

Geocities, but they no longer claim ownership of the material.  See their

latest Terms of Service at:

Hiya Flashers,


I just heard on ZDTV that Geocities has announced that any content created

on their servers is automatically owned by them.
