It may not seem like intellectual property rights are a big deal, until someone wants
to claim them as their own. The New service agreement appears to give yahoo
copyright control over all information on any geocity site. Evidently
the payement is a free website [with annoying advertising]
the cost is your intellectual property, and copyright control.
We regret that this is a cost we cannot and will not pay.
Due to the new service agreement, we have had to remove all copyrighted papers and materials
and all midi files from our site. Yahoo is claiming that anything on the site
may be used by them however they see fit. As we had permission to use these orginal
copyrighted files - but the owner does not
plan to give them to Yahoo - we have had to remove them until the
situation has been clarified or remediated.
We plan to create something new - but for those looking for what was here - do not be dismayed - Everything is still online, and can be found at
www.lutheran-hymnal.com
While we valued the geocities community - we cannot condone the intellectual piracy of the yahoo agreement.
Perhaps yahoo may change its mind if enough people complain.
