Subject: [GMF] Transfer a Y!Group because of the Oath
TOS?
?
Ellen,
?
The main thing bad about them is they believe they own the rights to
everything you post.... and have the right to use it in any way they see fit.
?
?No,
the specifically states that you retain ownership of any IP rights that you
hold in the content (that you posted or uploaded), but that you grant them a
license to use it in any way they see fit.? That's in paragraph 6b.
?
OK .... so very close to what I said though. I had
ownership ... but no right to refuse them. On a group such as those I owned,
there was a lot of personal chitchat going on. The group was private, so we
thought it was safe. I can¡¯t believe anyone would want their conversations being
used in any way seen fit by someone else.
?
Scary stuff.
?
? The
scary part is that you also grant that license to other users to use within
Oath. That is, other users may re-post your content.
?
It just gets scarier.
?
?Um,
have you read the Groups.io TOS? It
is similar, but does restrict their use to operating Groups.io, and does not
extend to other users.
?
The restriction is what makes it better. Passing info to
anyone who wants it (pays for it?) is substantially more dangerous.
