If you use AIM, check out the updated Terms of Service.
Screenshot goodness in case they change it.
That's a joke, right?

Clauses like this are in many of the free web hosting agreements as well. I've read an author who ended up in court after posting some of their work on a free hosting website and then having the hosts sue after it was published. I don't remember how it all turned out. Was in the Seatle area, though I'm not getting any results, my Google Fu must not be strong today.
Of course applying this to instant messaging is even more insane. I want to see the Post Office or FedEx come out with one of these now.
