Media darling YouTube is getting its media comeuppance.

Xeni Jardin in BoingBoing: YouTube's new policy says: we own your content.

The newly revised Terms and Conditions page at YouTube raises important questions for anyone who uploads videos there. ...

Wired News blogs: YouTube's 'New' Terms Still Fleece Musicians.

"…by submitting the User Submissions to YouTube, you hereby grant YouTube a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the User Submissions in connection with the YouTube Website and YouTube's (and its successor's) business… in any media formats and through any media channels."

Compare and contrast, class, to Ourmedia's Site rules:

You own your own material. Ourmedia claims no intellectual property rights over the material you provide to our service.

ZDNet: YouTube has been sued for copyright infringement.

ZDNet: It's inevitable: this YouTube suit will be the first of many from the copyright machine.
