I found this article about how MSN is censoring the blogs that it hosts. I’m actually not too upset about it, since most users are probably pretty aware of whats happening and they can move to another hoster like blogger.com, or even have their stuff hosted here on peargrove.com. But there is something else that really bugs me. Its in the end user license agreement of using MSN blogs:

Unlike rival services such as Blogger, MSN Spaces forces new users to grant Microsoft permission to “use, copy, distribute, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, reproduce, edit, modify, translate and reformat” their blog postings.

Wow, that is really horrible. What it is saying, is that if you use MSN Spaces, Microsoft owns your content. I don’t want Microsoft to own anything I create. I create it, and it is mine. Thats why my blog is hosted by me instead of by Microsoft, so I own my own content. I’m free.
