RE: Please Read! Terms and Conditions Change
Several things:

+Kiwike servers may not be located in your country of residence, and thus you wouldn't be capable of prosecuting them in any way without extradition, which I doubt any judge anywhere will grant. Serious cases of copyright infringement have gone without such requests.

+Technically speaking if the condition didn't exist when you agreed, you probably wouldn't be held to it in a court of law. That's why games like WoW have you agree again each time the ToS are altered, that way they have the excuse that you agreed to those specific terms if you ever break them.

+Kiwike wouldn't be eligible for copyright infringement charges anyways--it doesn't become a case of copyright infringement unless Kiwike tries to reproduce, prepare, distribute, etc, usually to a monetary benefit. Neither your or Kiwike is making money here, so the issue is practically moot from a legal perspective. No one would care, and Kiwike can claim no true ownership.

+The rule is an overreaction to pavja's spouting of legalese when he was leaving, even though that was a load of crap too. At the end of the day there's no real need to worry because Kiwike has absolutely no power to enforce it anyways.
Ownership and copyright are two different things: the originator of an idea ALWAYS owns that concept, intellectual property cannot be taken or transferred, only the copyright, and signing over copyrights requires paper work to be recognized under law; Kiwike has no power to claim copyright or enact legal action if you chose to ignore them.
