Update: Yahoo says the copyright notice in the RSS feed was a mistake and that it was never supposed to be there. It is to be fixed shortly.
It was brought to my attention today that Yahoo is copyrighting the RSS feeds for those that are setting up Yahoo 360 accounts. Some are already refusing to use the service because in a sense Yahoo now owns your content.
This may be a oversight on Yahoo’s part and I hope it is, I will probaly use their service anyway but probably not the blog portion and give them some time to answer these issues. [Yahoo 360 Copyrights Personal RSS Feeds]

It has been reported that Yahoo! 360 has placed a “Copyright 2005, Yahoo!” in the RSS feeds of it’s users. An update on the Geek News Central site has reported that Yahoo! has stated that the copyright message was a mistake and will be removed shortly….
How a cut-n-paste can ruin your day: A clarification and a fix for Yahoo! 360
The volume of response to the Yahoo! 360 beta has been unprecedented and we are excited to see so many people sending their feedback in the first days of our maiden voyage. Along the way folks have made lots of great suggestions, praised and panned the features, and found some problems in the beta
Jimw,
I am very interested in the Yahoo 360! Service. What do you like about the service? Is there anything that you think Yahoo is doing that sets itself apart from the others?
Thank you.
I clarified my remarks it is still going to be a great service so dont feel bad they will have some growing pains.
I hope Yahoo comes clean on this. I sent you a invite but I guess your not going to use it. I was just trying to be nice. I feel pretty stupid now. Thanks Yahoo.
