Taking AIM at privacy

from Cory Doctorow at BoingBoing:

Many readers have written to point out that AOL's Terms of Service for AIM include the right for AOL to use anything and everything you send through AIM in any way they see fit, without informing you. A sample passage:


"...by posting Content on an AIM Product, you grant AOL, its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, assigns, agents and licensees the irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide right to reproduce, display, perform, distribute, adapt and promote this Content in any medium. You waive any right to privacy."
