Ownership of Data

When participating in Yahoo! Auctions you may provide us with information about yourself and/or products and services listed. You grant Yahoo exclusive rights in all of this information, and all information derived or generated from it, in all existing or future media. These rights include but are not limited to the right to display your information anywhere on Yahoo's services and media properties, to search the information, and, consistent with our privacy policy, to repackage and resell it to anyone for any reason. As used in this paragraph, information includes but is not limited to data, text, photographs, drawings, sound recordings, feedback, and any other information or data displayed or presented in connection with your listings and bids on Yahoo

What does all of this mean? If I give Yahoo exclusive rights to all information. Does it mean that Yahoo would own my name? Does it mean that if I use a Photo of my product that Yahoo would own that photo and could charge me everytime I wanted to use it? Could they sell my photos and information to other manufacturers? Could they decide to manufacture my products themselves?
