Dear Alex Plank
It has come to my attention that you have changed the Terms of Service since I first joined Wrong Planet, and are now claiming all sorts of rights over my postings.
"Rights
WrongPlanet.net reserves full rights to information and content posted anywhere within the wrongplanet.net domain by any of its visitors, members, and staff.
By posting to the forums, or any other sections of this site, you signify agreement that you are giving WrongPlanet permission to use, modify, and reproduce your submission, in part or in whole, in any way, shape, form, or method in which we decide to do so, at any point in the present or future at our discretion.
Any and all information posted on WrongPlanet.net may not be copied or used elsewhere, in any way, shape, or form, either on the Internet or in print without express written consent of an owner of WrongPlanet.net."
Please note that as I am not an American citizen, and that since I reside outside of America, international law is applicable to this matter. You can not retrospectively apply claims of copyright to my posts. They are and will remain my property to do with as I wish. I do not extent that facility to you.
In addition, the fact that you have removed my ability to delete these posts myself is a direct violation of my rights.
If you wish to maintain this claim you are required forthwith to remove ALL my existing postings, made under the name of CuriousPrimate, from the forum and from whatever database(s) they may stored on. Failure to do so is a violation of my rights and is unacceptable. Please note that if it becomes necessary to pursue this matter I will do so in a South African court of law.
I expect to receive an email notifying me that you have done so within the week, commencing South African time 23:30 Tuesday 16 May 2006.
Yours sincerely
CuriousPrimate
