Richard does this mean they still can hold on to your rights even after you've ended your MySpace agreement? And that they'll take a hunk of your pie but YOU pay all the fees and royalties even if it arises out of some action of theirs? I'm not sure if I understand the last sentence right. And what exactly does non-exclusive mean in legal talk? Fully-paid WHAT? Sorry I find this confusing

Term. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Services or are a Member. You may terminate your Membership at any time, for any reason. MySpace.com may terminate your Membership at any time, without warning. Even after Membership is terminated, this Agreement will remain in effect, including sections 5-17.

EVEN AFTER MEMBERSHIP IS TERMINATED, THIS AGREEMENT WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT, INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-17

And guess what number 6 is:

6. Proprietary Rights in Content on MySpace.com.
By displaying or publishing ("posting") any Content, messages, text, files, images, photos, video, sounds, profiles, works of authorship, or any other materials (collectively, "Content") on or through the Services, you hereby grant to MySpace.com, a non-exclusive, fully-paid and royalty-free, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense through unlimited levels of sublicensees) to use, copy, modify, adapt, translate, publicly perform, publicly display, store, reproduce, transmit, and distribute such Content on and through the Services. This license will terminate at the time you remove such Content from the Services.

But will they still own a piece of you?

- - You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owing any person by reason of any Content posted by you to or through the Services.

You grant them a royalty-free worldwide license, royalties which you yourself have to pay?
