YMMV on what constitutes a 'scam'...
...but my personal rule of thumb is to go read through the fine print
of the company's Terms of Service (TOS) to see if they're granting
themselves unlimited rights to my photographic works.
>From PhotoMax's relevant section in their TOS, they cleary are granting
themselves a permanent and effectively unlimited licence to their
customers' copyrighted works:
"8.Copyrights:
a) License to Photomax: As a condition to your Membership, you hereby
grant Photomax a perpetual, universal, nonexclusive right to copy,
display, modify, transmit, make derivative works of and distribute any
Content transmitted or provided to the Service by you, solely for the
purpose of providing the Service..."
BTW, one thing that I find quite interesting about this text is the
statement that this is "solely" for providing the Service, yet they
insisted upon having rights to MODIFIED and DERIVATIVE versions of your
works. This is clearly skullduggery.
Furthermore, the TOS also states:
"b) Backup Copies of Images and Other Material: The Service is not
designed or intended to be used as a disaster recovery facility or as
an emergency data storage facility."
..which makes Jessica's claim of "Archive and Preserve ... FOREVER" a
blatant, flat out lie.
