Yahoo: Your House Is My House
by Declan McCullagh

If you're a GeoCities homesteader, be warned: Your Web site
is no longer your own. 

Yahoo, which launched its Yahoo-GeoCities site Monday,
says it owns all Web pages, articles, and images on member
sites and has "irrevocable" rights to them for all time. 

This presents a problem for those GeoCities members who
have painstakingly assembled large sites with dozens, even
hundreds, of pages of valuable material.
