Ask CC. :-)

IANAL, TINLA. It doesn't sound like an additional restriction *on the
use of the work itself*, and so I don't think it breaks BY-SA.

Ongoing access to the service and any work that may be recived through
it under BY-SA in the future is not the same as the ongoing freedom to
use any work that one may already have received under BY-SA through the
service.

It's a slightly uncool contract, though. ;-)
