Hey Brian,

Having only one semester of business law, much of which dealt with contracts, and not playing a lawyer on TV, I'm no expert. But I'd interpret that to mean that the asylum can use a poster's posts any way they want, without compensation to the poster.

But also note that the use is "non-exclusive", meaning you (or anyone else) can use it as well, any way you/they please.

On the other hand, just because an entity puts wording in a contract doesn't mean it's enforceable. It has to comply with applicable law.

If you have information you wish to convey, but want to retain copyright control of it and don't want it to be "content", you can post it somewhere else, such as on your own website, and then simply post a link to it on AA. That way, only the link is "content".
