I would not think so, although it appears that what it does do is grant them 
permission for useage with attribution. Its hard to say though, because, a 
lot of ISPs are now doing things like stating that they have the right to 
info that normally you wouldn't think they could touch. Juno's privacy 
statement is very invasive to the person. They have right to supply your 
marketing info to *anyone* and you have no say in it because you chose their 
service voluntairly. I just about had a coronary when I read that. 

It appears that ever since the web copyright for intellectual properties has 
been retuned, that ISP's are avoiding the situation of copyright violation by 
adapting their privacy statments like this. Wave of the future?
