nothing like hoppin on the computer to download some custom zombies map with my 10 year old son sitting next to me on his computer and porn popping up in the chat box at ZM. Kind of awkward I must say
In addition to what everyone else has said, ZM also allows maps with illegal assets to be released onto their site. Creating a custom zombie map with these assets is a HUGE violation of the Agreement when you download mod tools
now to be fair, certain members within the UGX community also engage in this same violation. So neither is perfect in this regard, However it isn't nearly as bad.
Not trying to be mean, but your arguement is somewhat invalid. Here's why:
A. The agreement you mention is not about releasing maps with custom content. It's about selling your maps you make which is illegal.
B. I release maps with custom content, yet they are legal. Why? I own the game I port models from, and release the maps for free. Perfectly legal (according to the Activison agreement).
New Game Materials must not contain any illegal, obscene or defamatory materials, materials that infringe rights of privacy and publicity of third parties or (without appropriate irrevocable licenses granted specifically for that purpose) any trademarks, copyright-protected works or other properties of third parties.
C. It's illegal if I give assets to another mapper who doesn't own the game. That's stealing and illegal.
D. Technically, the UGX Mod is then illegal (if you don't own black ops or other games assets are from). Not hating in UGX here, it's a great mod.

So according to your arguement ( from my point d), I can call my map a mod and its legal? Doesn't seem right. So if UGX bought the game and import the asset, that's illegal. But if they call it a mod, that's legal? Doesn't seem right. I could get ripped weapons from a game I don't own, but call it a mod and that would be ok? (I think that's what your saying, since the word mod makes it legal)
