Yahoo's TOS for groups.

I'm not a lawyer but it reads to me that it places the responsibilty onto the user. I guess the question would be obscene.
There are hundreds of platforms allowing users to share photos and videos. There must be a way to do this and keep it legal. If a person signs up and agree to the TOS stating that they are the keeper of records, how is that any different then if I purchased content from a broker and they simply give me a license agreement stating they are keeper of ID's and records?

DV, Yahoo and MSN have a lot of lawyers on retainer for things like this, so even if they DO get sued, they'll more than likely just spend some time in court and if they lose, they'll pay a hefty fine.
The best thing to do is ask yourself "How much can *I* lose?" and go from there. IMHO, basing "gray area" things on what big companies with lots of $$$$ are doing, isn't good
