If I was stealing someone else's work and submitting it to a LEGO contest as
my own, how loyal a fan am I?  Remember the context.  This is there to
protect the loyal LEGO fan who has published their work to the web.  This
protects original designer, not the contestant who stole the design that was
entered.

This release gives TLG an out for this.  If someone comes forward and can
prove that a contest submission is stolen, then TLG can work it out with the
original designer and then legally go after the submitter.

In effect someone who was willing to steal a design would be getting a
reasonable punishment IMHO.

I don't usually post "I agree" posts but, I agree. While I am not happy
about loss of rights if I'm the originator, it is nice to see that maybe TLC
is going to do something about the cases where someone ELSE submits my work...

Kai, I think you read it wrong.
