Disney.com Terms of Use - Updated 5/6/08

Ok I'll admit,
I never really read through these before so I have no idea what changes were made.
As you log into VMK you will notice this update of terms of use highlighted in red.
With that being said I have read them now. A few things stuck out at me in regards to VMK.
No idea if this was the case but..
Here it is anyways;

All information, materials, functions and other content (including Submissions, as defined in Section 3, entitled "SUBMISSIONS") ("Content") contained on WDIG Sites are our copyrighted property or the copyrighted property of our licensors or licensees. All trademarks, service marks, trade names, and trade dress are proprietary to us and/or our licensors or licensees. We may change the WDIG Sites or delete Content or features at any time, in any way, for any or no reason.


"Public Forum" means an area, site or feature offered as part of any WDIG Site that offers the opportunity for users to Distribute Submissions for viewing by one or more WDIG Site users, including a chat area, message board, instant messaging, mobile messaging, social community environment, profile page, conversation page, blog, e-mail function (including electronic greeting cards and send-a-friend e-mails).
We owe you no obligation, and therefore may refuse, to post, deliver, remove, modify or otherwise use or take any action with respect to Submissions you Distribute.


LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
WE MAY TERMINATE YOUR FURTHER ACCESS TO WDIG SITES OR CHANGE THE WDIG SITES OR DELETE CONTENT OR FEATURES IN ANY WAY, AT ANY TIME AND FOR ANY REASON OR NO REASON.
( The best excuse they state over and over is that they can do anything they want with no reason-LOL-sounds like a good corporate strategy. They sure like yelling towards the end. I think somebody is cranky and needs a nap.)

And there are a few other boring legal things saying they will sue you if you copy their music/art/ideas or alter them in any way, except for your own personal computer. Oh and if you come up with a good idea and send it to them, don't expect to get paid or even any credit for it.
That about sums it up.

It really says they owe us no obligation? Well then, I owe them no obligation to continue spending money at Disney. I'm completely disgusted now.

Technically - that is the truth.

VMKForums can remove avatars if they wanted to (of course people will be upset) but the owner(s) has the right to do anything to their site - like Disney is doing with vmk.com

It never fails to amaze me how Di$ney manages to hire LawBots who are so incompetent that they make My Cousin Vinny look like Clarence Darrow. (or Johnnie Cochran or F. Lee Bailey for the younger types)

Most nations, even the USofA, have constitutions that prohibit things like "WE MAY TERMINATE YOUR FURTHER ACCESS...FOR ANY REASON OR NO REASON". For instance, I would LOVE to see them terminate someone because of their race or religion. If they wanna try, there is a certain Brown Satanic Bunny they can work on...

Well then. Disney obviously doesn't care. They've pretty much saying that can scam you out of the money you pay for their online services?

No way I'm trusting them with another game.

Well I can say this horrible. Why would they do this at all? Has Disney lost it because it seems they have. After VMK I will not go into any online game obbsesions because I'll be reminded of this. this is just EVIL Disney is supposed to make kids of all ages happy so much for that! More EVIL then ekb!!

Don't you worry your pretty little (gas.he) self My POTC account has already been cancelled and I have made arrangements to not renew my 2 Toontown accounts upon expiration. Take that Disney! You say you can delete and change at any time for no reason. Well guess what? So can your PAYING customers..........Hey reminds me of an old country song "Take this "game" and ..... it!"

Hmm... Delete/cancel for any or no reason? Sounds to me like why vmk closed. Oh, well. Disney, you made a pretty big mistake saying that! Gonna lose a WHOLE lot of money.

At this point, please don't be surprised if Disney closes Toontown or Pirates. They obviously don't care about their players. Remember, "online gaming" is only one aspect of the Disney empire. Shutting down their online games will not hurt the company at all. My best advice for everybody who is upset about VMK closing is to enjoy what you have - tomorrow it may not be there. As far as VMK and VMKForums goes, I have no regrets. Yeah it stinks, but I'm over it. Thank you Disney for making a great game, but don't expect me to wait around for you to close down the others.

So either they are afraid they are going to lose this fight with the players, or they are getting annoyed. So I am hoping its the first one. I actually heard about this in art the other day, we are making prints and she wants us to start designing them, and she says that we can't use disney characters or disney will give you an angry letter. She also said that their was a guy who had disney tatoos all down his arms and he has to keep them covered up because they belong to disney. A student posted a disney picture on a site and disney sent them an angry letter asking them to take it off imediately. Apparently disney means bussiness..
