THIS ALLOWS [HOST.NAME] TO REFER TO A MEMBERS WEBSITE WITHOUT REQUIRING USE TO PAY ANY ROYALTY FOR SUCH REFERENCE.

THIS SIMPLY ENSURES THE SITE OWNS THE CONTENT THEY ARE POSTING.
- waive all moral rights that you have in the content and warrant and represent that all other authors and creators of the content have also waived their moral rights in and to the content.
SEE COMMENT A AND B
We would never "steal" content from a members site. We simply reserve the ability to refer to a member's website. In general we always try to inform the member and get their blessing before we ever do so in a public way.
