Once again you validated my reasons for not using Verizon or switching to
Verizon for anything. I'm currently with Altrice/Optimum for landline,
cable, internet and T-Mobile for smartphone. Left Verizon in the dust in
2013 - they have the worst customer service on the planet.
The one that, if you actually read through the very lengthy, detailed
agreement, you'll find sections where they state that while you
theoretically retain your copyright privileges on any material you post
on a forum or attach to an e-mail, Oath retains the right to read your
e-mail, including the capture of any attachments, incoming or outgoing, any
content you post on their various forums, etc. and may use that content any
way they wish without notifying you.
All I can tell you for certain, is Tumblr also has that statement in front
of their site. Which is --- we own anything you post and can do with it
whatsoever we wish, as does LJ, which also states, we own whatever you post
and can do what we wish with it -- well unless you pay us, then maybe not.
Hence the reason I stopped using either site. I'm picky about who owns the
copyright to what I'm writing. Some people aren't, but I am. ;-)
