It's almost like those websites that say "when you upload your content we can do what we want with it" did that for a good reason: to avoid all this complexity and possible lawsuit.

And went too overboard with it, which is what tends to cause the usual responses to such changes in TOS. A better, more specific wording would have costed only $0.4/hour to pay to for their lawyer. Heck, I can do it almost for free:

When you upload your content you give us a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to distribute the content with its current license on your behalf.
