May Contain Nuts

Reading the Terms & Conditions on the Myst Online website, as linked to by the DRC’s Eder Tsogahl Stained Glass Project, I came across this odd little gem:

Any notes, messages, e-mails, billboard postings, ideas, suggestions, concepts or other material submitted will become the property of GameTap throughout the universe and GameTap shall be entitled to use the material for any type of use forever including in any media whether now known or hereafter devised.

The universe? Seriously? I mean, dude, I know we’re supposed to be back on the Moon by 2020, but the universe? Do we have forum members secretly posting from the other side of the Lagoon Nebula (in fairness, moiety is from Alpha Centauri, which looks suspiciously like either Belgium or Boston, depending on the magnification and atmospheric interference… ;))? Does the Battlestar Galactica have a GameTap user we don’t know about? That seems a tad extreme.
