Double edged sword here... This implies you/we are protected but only after giving up ownership by posting...

Who knows what how liberal courts will decide these days regarding property rights, but it seems to me that this self serving TOU provision is way too restrictive to stand up; admittedly, they have the right to proscribe any rules they want, and if not challenged,will get away with it. However, in anyone's definition a mall is a public place, and per their rules, they could steal any document or photo, post it publicly, and claim that the aggrieved party had no rights because he had violated their rules to get evidence of their theft. That circumscription of the laws and rights of other parties should not stand.

At one point I taught a part of the National Writing Project at Miami University. I talked with a judge who told me that historical writing was not subject to copyright law. He also suggested that if we wrote a fictional piece, we should make a copy, put it in an envelope, mail it to ourself and address it on the back across the seal. When we receive it, don't open it. If another person claimed it as his writing, we could go to court and have the court open it. The post mark would attest to the date. He called this a US MAIL copy right. I never had to use it so I don't actually know if it would hold up. Maybe it would depend on the judge. I wonder if it would work in the case of a photo.

Never post one of your photos on the internet in full resolution. Any photos I put on the web are reduced to 1280x960 and then compressed by a minimum of 30 percent.
They look good on the internet but you would not want to download and print the image at a larger size. Sarge69

Good thought! Tell me, please, whether similar precautions should be taken when sending photos via e-mail, assuming that the recipient can be trusted. In other words, is it sufficiently common that a hacker could break into others' e-mail and copy photos? Thanks!
