  It’s a rights grab so any content you post can be re-sold, licensed or modified without your permission or recompense.

  So a huge image archive that is now owned by whoever owns the forum.

  The wording of the T&Cs seems to allow at least the possibility that anyone can re-use the content, not just the owner of the forum.

  Examining the minutia of copyright seems a little beside the point at this stage in proceedings.

  That's what Lennon & McCartney said as they let Northern Songs slip out of their fingers.

  As I read it that means you own the copyright to your own posts but in effect have simultaneously given it away.

  Then, who have you ceded the copyright to? I suppose in the first instance to the Forum, however legally constituted, but the text also includes:

  and allow others to do the same for no fee.

  Does this mean that anyone could take this intellectual property and repurpose it for private or commercial use? So that for all practical purposes there is no copyright? Or are the 'others' to be determined by whoever represents the Forum?

  Rode a multistrada around Sicily on a Ducati trip years back (the Motogiro), can't remember which model. Felt a bit like riding a giraffe. Not that I've ridden a giraffe.

  ULEZ primarily about nitrogen oxide emissions which are lower in 2-strokes.

  Should never have sold that fragrant KH400.
