Tribe.net's new TOU

From http://sanfrancisco.tribe.net/template/pub%2CTerms.vm

"We do not claim ownership of the content you post or otherwise provide to the Service. However, you hereby grant, and agree to grant as an effect of posting or otherwise providing content, to the public for non-commercial purposes and to Tribe, a perpetual license to use, copy, distribute, display, perform, and modify any and all content that you post on the Service. This license cannot be withdrawn. Your use of the service is in consideration for this license, we will not otherwise pay you for your content. You represent and warrant that you have not granted and will not grant any rights inconsistent with this license."

The official spin is "well, we worded it that way, but we don't really mean it.

Bullshit. I always said I'd unsubscribe if they pulled a stunt like this. A revised TOU is supposed to appear soon. We'll see if I'm about to be forced to stick to my word.

This bites.
