Ur FARKed: Post to Fark, lose your copyright, forever

So you mean to tell me that if I post a clever headline, story, photo or anything else that belongs to me to Fark.com I loose all copyright to Fark.com forever?

[Yes!]

They just re-designed the site and have a new disclaimer that pretty much explains that although they will grant you a license back to your own material [ha!] you are forever barred from selling the material because they own all copyright to it.


Fark.com is the legal owner of all copyright interests of Fark.com content. Each and every submission to Fark.com carries with it an implied assignment of the entire copyright interest in the submission. In exchange for the content and publication of that submission on Fark.com, Fark.com grants back to the submitter a non-exclusive, non-transferable and royalty-free license to republish that submission in any and all forms.
