Reading EULAs from various internet sites frequently scares me. One time I sat down and read through Yahoo! Groups EULA and was a bit turned off that they considered everything posted to their site to be their intellectual property. This was several years ago and the terms may have changed, but the overall concept seems to be that whatever you put on the internet belongs to the owner of the site you are posting to. Caveat emptor.

Cheers,
Jeff

You're totally right Jeff. There are some really scary EULAs out there. Cory Doctorow at Boing Boing has pointed out a few that should really turn everyone's hair white. Amazon Unbox, anyone?
