Title: Another contest rip-off, this time Conde Nast
Post by: PeterAit on March 21, 2012, 10:58:58 am

I received a promotion for their travel photo contest, and it looked good! Nice prizes, no entry fee. Why was I worried? A brief trip into the rules showed that all entries (not just winners, but all entries) could be used by Conde Nast, without payment or attribution, for any purpose whatsoever, FOREVER.

I know that people on this forum have seen this sort of thing before, but it still ticks me off.

Peter, these people are experts; they know where all the G-Spots are.

Rob, you surely meant: V-spots? V for vanity?  ;)

Good point; but here's something else to encourage a smile if you like pretty, old cars.
