Looking for answers to your color questions, have some advice to give... or simply want to get to know your fellow COLOURlovers? You're in the right place.
For reference... The terms we'll generally end up with are similar to what Threadless has:

However, by submitting the User Submissions to Threadless.com, you hereby grant Threadless.com a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable, and transferable right and license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the User Submissions in connection with the Website and Threadless.com's (and its successor's) business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Website (and derivative works thereof) in any media now known or hereafter developed.
All content submitted to the COLOURlovers web site, including but not limited to Colors, Palettes, Patterns, Comments, Ratings; become the property of COLOURlovers. This information may be published and used in marketing material, products & services.
...it seems in poor taste to sell your users' content in book form with no notification etc but that's just me...
Hey sero* sorry for the surprise. I was planning on sharing the book in a blog post on Monday... what it is and where it is coming from...
I think it doesn't align very well with what you've said in the past, and it seems in poor taste to sell your users' content in book form with no notification etc but that's just me.
How about a sneak peek at the pages of the new book too? :)))
@sero*
Congrats! =D
I think if you didn't discover this like you did but was informed - you would have reacted very differently and maybe even be honoured(?) I imagine it can give a sneaky feeling!
It is an honour I think to be referenced in a color theory book!
I hope colourlover.com will give you a book!
everyone agree? *wink*

I really can't recall seeing any other sites selling their member's content like this... Flickr and DeviantArt don't sell books of their member's work, YouTube doesn't sell stock video, etc.
We can't delete our palettes/patterns, and we have no way of managing the rights to them. Still.
So what's next? Selling user information? Selling seamless templates?
