This is posted under "Protection of Copyrights and Trademarks" in AOL's
Terms of Service. Notice the last sentence.

Some content is owned by others and is protected by copyrights, trademarks,
and other intellectual property rights. It's very easy to copy things in
cyberspace, but just because it's easy doesn't mean it's acceptable or
lawful. Unauthorized copying of software is illegal, and you can be subject
to criminal penalties beyond the termination of your membership. We take
this seriously. Similarly, other content owners may take criminal or civil
action against you. All the content you transmit must either be your own
or must be transmitted with express authorization for distribution on AOL.

Bear in mind that some areas of AOL are "public," like message boards,
forums, or the Member Directory, and other members will have access to your
posted material and might copy, modify or distribute it. By submitting
content in these public areas, you grant to AOL the complete right to use,
reproduce, modify, distribute, etc. the content in any part, anywhere.
