You do. The submitter maintains the copyright to all of his or her submitted photographs on Freaking News. Freaking News reserves the right to store, modify, and display all images uploaded to the site permanently, without restriction. We also reserve the right to use submitted entries for FreakingNews-related merchandise and promotions in the future. You have the ability to ‘opt-out’ of having your images used as merchandise via your preferences page, though there is a revenue sharing model in place so why not benefit from your own sales? Freaking News acts as an aggregate copyright holder, with an interest in the collection and display of submitted images on our site. You may not take even a single copyrighted image off of the Freaking News website without our and our copyright holders’ consent. This includes direct linking to images on our server (image leeching). Forward all requests here and we will reply promptly. Last updated: 10/23/2003 1:43:05 PM by NewsMaster • Does Freaking
