Just wondering, FanLib wise
Re-reading comments to Henry Jenkins's blog posts on FanLib, I noted this one:
Quoted from Fanlib's TOS page, as of 1.05 am EST on the 27th of May:
Another part of FanLib's service allows other people to use Your Content on the FanLib Website. By putting Your Content on the FanLib website, you are granting each FanLib website user all the rights you have that they need to use, copy, distribute, or display Your Content on the FanLib website.
So basically, I could plagiarize the Content from any other Fanlibber's work and happily use it for my own Content, since I theoretically have been granted 'all the rights they (each and every Fanlib user) have' to 'use, copy, distribute or display' their work, as long as it's posted on Fanlib? And no one on Fanlib could incriminate me for TOS violation?
Awesome.

Question: is this still possible? FanLib members could just all post the same story over and over with the names changed to, say, Draco? *That* would be a nuisance.
ETA: hope that fixes it.
