Which types of claims are you talking here? I can see that submitting does
not GIVE them any rights above and beyond the ones they have, so they cannot
CLAIM anything. But how could they claim any rights, from submitting to
Brickshelf?

That does make sense for contests where a non-digital work is being sent in,
because it is not even possible to keep an identical copy for personal use.
So, what use could I make from any retained rights?
It is not acceptable (and I never take part in such contests) when even my
personal use of a digital work is prohibited after I send it in.

And this exactly is what I think is unreasonable. Assume I need a printout,
or want to give one to a friend. Do I really need to download the scan again
from brickshelf before I am allowed to print? Or assume the brickshelf
archive disappears at some point, but I still have a copy of the scans I
submitted. Wouldn't it at least then be reasonable to let me put up the
scans on my website, or submit to another archive?
And what about scans submitted prior to this policy change?

I understand that. So, if the LEGO Company objects to any of the things I
could do with the scans I submitted, that's a different thing. But why would
you want to object?
Again, this discussion is not intended to neglect your work on the
brickshelf archive. In fact, I am as thankful as many others who have
expressed so in response to your announcement. I just don't see why this one
point needs to be regulated so narrowly. I may accept if a good explanation
is given, but, so far, I don't see one.
Greetings
Horst
