  • Morning DTers,

    So I know that the whole Rdt saga is a bit of a sore point. (Avery ye eyes if needed.) I’ve been following it loosely and someone posted their terms which made me think about how we loathe it when news outlets pilfer our posts. I thought it might be worth noting this:

    When Your Content is created with or submitted to the Services, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works of, distribute, store, perform, and display Your Content and any name, username, voice, or likeness provided in connection with Your Content in all media formats and channels now known or later developed anywhere in the world. This license includes the right for us to make Your Content available for syndication, broadcast, distribution, or publication by other companies, organizations, or individuals who partner with Reddit. You also agree that we may remove metadata associated with Your Content, and you irrevocably waive any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to Your Content.

    Just some thoughts.

    • If you can't tell what the product is, the product is you.

      It has often been a problem with artwork, both on social media sites and when you do things like enter competitions or use your own work to be printed on an item you are often giving away the rights. Now that AI is involved our words have also become more valuable to companies, even random passing conversations.

      • Oh, I have no illusions about that. It was just a passing thought on the times I’ve seen people get mad about seeing content used in online news. If anyone thought they still owned anything they posted, they just might want to think again.

      • not sure if i should shitpost more or less…

    • That's very interesting

      Reddit has the rights, not news,au

      • My guess is that's a large part of why they are making the changes - 3rd party apps are not really the target, it's just part of the process of how they plan to keep the material contained so they can sell it to media and large businesses.

    • Yeah and here I am bitching I can't publish the journal I lost with melbourne going private. I'd probably get a cease and desist letter. /s No one much if anyone would have actually read it lol.

      If a service if free, we are the product, the advertisers their customers. So this here lemmy or aussie zone or whatever is the same and we'll face the same drama again sometime if it gets big and shareholders need an roi. woohoo late state capatalism! we provide the content for free and they sell us shit we don't need.

      • Actually, that can’t happen with this place. We can own and run the servers if we want and can choose to communicate or block whatever other servers we want. It’s the big draw card of the “fediverse”
