This is a complete mis-characterization of the license.
1) It explicitly says "you own the content you submit."
2) It says you agree to let TakeItApart use the content you submit, in ways and purposes any website, forum, or blog would be expected and required to use content posted for general public display.

3) Any expectation that a website should take unlimited legal liability for the content posted by the general public is unwarranted and unreasonable.
