Hey Jim (If I may be so bold to call you by your first name...),
This has come up on some of the other forums, and we completely understand your concern. While it is a lot of boiler plate that sounds a bit intimidating, we had to have this language in the contract per GM. We must sign over the rights to them simply so they aren't liable in cases where someone sues for using their image. Its the only way we could do it, it's pretty standard in licensing.
I can tell you that we are only using this for our calendar contest and we will not hold anyone back from or even try to come after someone if they want to continue using their photo for their purposes.
It really is just protection for us and GM, thats it. We understand if you don't want to participate, really. All I can do is ask that you understand what this is for and do upload a photo. We're car guys, just like you. We want to be successful and try to make something that people want. Thanks for listening and if you decide to upload, good luck. Either way, thanks for asking so we could have this opportunity to explain our side.
Cheers,
-Us
