I just read that CafePress.com have changed their TOS, without informing their users. Anyone who has a store there should read the new TOS and reconsider if they want to keep the store or take it down. Believe me, you WILL want to terminate all business with them.

The most important change they've made:
6.1 CafePress.com will solely and exclusively own all intellectual property and other rights, title and interest in and to the CafePress.com Service, and CafePress.com will have the sole and exclusive right to obtain trademark and copyright registrations, patents and other protection therefor, and you will not acquire any right, title or interest therein, under this Agreement or otherwise.

This means that you give up all rights to the art you have created. Furthermore, you are not allowed to use that same art in any other form. Follow the link if you want to read more about this.

I don't know how many Renderosity members use CafePress.com, but perhaps this message should be displayed on the front page.
