Revisions

We've been trying to get some of the local bloggers to take note of YourPanorama to help us promote it and to add some fresh new content to the site. One blogger, Steve from House of Warwick, had suggested that we need to take a closer look at our terms of service. He indicated they made it sound as if we were going to steal ideas and materials from members then market them as our own. Not at all what we want to do. YourPanorama is a community journalism site where we celebrate the ideas of others.

Anyway, I took a look at the terms with a new eye and discovered that Steve was right! The language sounded awful and made us look like devious people. So I changed it today - all of it. Took out four pages worth of repetitive legalese and poorly stated objectives. I'll leave it up to you to see if what is left clearly defines how we treat copyrighted content and what we do not want posted to the site. Our revised terms are here. And I wrote a brief article to include on YourPanorama describing the events that led to the revisions.
