I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here, and say that I really don't think that Daz is going to "milk as much free content from our members as possible, so we can get more cash and you get squat." This is for their calendar, right? They're not going to make that much money off it... and please, don't say they will. It's a calendar -- they have good profit margins, but not great. And this is not going to sell millions of copies. The agreement is NOT a good one and I definitely wont enter it... but I'm fairly certain that they put all that crap in there to please their lawyers who are probably scared shitless at the thought of someone, down the road, getting their image into the calendar and then see, years later, a similar scene in a movie, and then suing the movie and Daz for ripping off their imagery. This really reads more like a blanket statement to cover our asses, rather than a straight rip off. Unfortunately, that doesnt ameliorate the severity, or the seriousness, of the infringement of creators rights that is represented by this agreement. I wont enter, and I dont think anyone else here should, either, until they SERIOUSLY consider the cost versus benefit of entering this contest. The cost is all rights to that image. The benefit is fame and notoriety of being included in an internationally distributed calendar. Just the sort of break that might help propel a young artist into the spotlight. You should do what you want, but still I wont enter.
