Boston.com wants to OWN your Wedding Video

Diana

Boston.com - Weddings - Lifestyle:
Welcome to Boston.com's newest wedding feature! Send us romantic, funny, or touching video clips from your wedding ceremonies and receptions. Share your love and your special day with us!

Your submission also allows Boston.com to edit, crop or adjust the colors of the image(s) on an as needed basis."
If your wedding video becomes the property of Boston.com, does that mean that you don't own it anymore?

What If you send in the cute shot of the flower girl walking down the aisle?

Does Boston.com now own that and do you therefore have to license it to get it into your own wedding video?

I'd love to send Boston.com some videos, but only to borrow for a while while I retain all ownership rights.

I prefer having them feature my videos on the front page and linking to them. That way everyone is happy.

Would you share your videos with Boston.com under these terms and conditions?
