AIM's New Terms Not Endearing...

" Although you or the owner of the Content retain ownership of all right, title and interest in Content that you post to any AIM Product, AOL owns all right, title and interest in any compilation, collective work or other derivative work created by AOL using or incorporating this Content. In addition, 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. You waive any right to inspect or approve uses of the Content or to be compensated for any such uses."

So if I send a photo via AIM, it's now theirs.
If I collabrate with a cow orker via AIM, AOL owns it.
If I send an original poem via AOL, they can use it as they see fit.

AOL is an integral part of my work. These terms are beyond the pale.

Full Terms Of Service Here.

Update:
Talked with Don Giannatti on this, and he thinks it just concerns the content you upload (smileys, icons, etc) onto AOL's servers.

That makes more sense.
