ORIGINAL: tj444 oh,.. it tells me a lot about the person that puts that on their profile.. it tells me they are an ijit cuz they likely saw it on someone elses profile and they thought it was a good idea or would actually legally mean anything so like a sheeple/copycat they did the same thing.. I also believe that you give away certain (or all?) legal rights to CM when agreeing to join this site.. I am too lazy to look it up tho to verify the exact wording of what one agrees to, but its there somewhere.. so that makes them a double ijit for not realizing this and/or for not reading the conditions/terms before they agreed to join.. seeing that on someones profile makes me laugh.. I dont bother with people that can't think for themselves.. It isn't people who can't think for themselves, it is people who think they know things they don't. The reality is that this site can do whatever they want with pictures you post here as per the TOS we all agreed with when we signed up. You don't get to say, "I want to join this site, but you can't use anything I post here." So to the brilliant legal mind of Karmastic, dude, you should have read the TOS when you signed up. Your little "know it all" blurb, doesn't prevent the site from using your photo or what I'm sure you believe are absolute pearls of wisdom for any purpose they deem fit. The TOS also addresses the issue of others using your photos, text, etc. to cover what people obviously (and erroneously) believe they need to do. Everything you say on this site is searchable. Your photos are searchable. And in the end, the reality is that really, people aren't interested in the words in your profile, because as much as you (general you) might believe you are the next Shakespeare, you aren't. No one is interested in your picture either. Now that doesn't apply to the Art and Creative Writing portion of CollarChat, that is a whole different issue. Your profile is NOT intellectual property. It isn't a literary or artistic work of art, which would be the only part of the "intellectual profile" definition that would apply here. 9.4.2.
