Billboard Mag trying a rights grab

It seems that Billboard.biz announced today a revamp of their Backbeat area. They also stated that the simple use of the #Backbeat hashtag gave them full rights to use a photo posted on twitter editorially with no other permissions or compensations.

This is what magazines and musicians are playing on, they think that they can do that, and there are fantographers who would sign away because they don't want to "exploit" the photos i.e. kiss their a**
