If you use flickr, as I do, this affects you:

I don't know what this portends.  It could be good news, or it could 
mean that all old user agreements will be null and void and subject to 
whatever terms they decide to dictate.  I'm reasonably optimistic based 
on SmugMug's past history and reputation. We shall see.  The CEO says 
they don't data-mine users content.  I pay a reasonable fee to *not* be 
deluged with ads. I like that model.

Thoughts?
