YouTube Policy Changes

BoingBoing

The foregoing license granted by you terminates once you remove or delete a User Submission from the YouTube Website

As soon as you delete the content from YouTube, their license is toast. No big deal I say.

$20 says that this was their plan all along.

You might delete it from being public, but you don't necessarily delete it from YouTubes content stash.

With the amount of data they're holding they probably don't have the space to save all the content ever uploaded...

The ommitted certain parts of the paragraph in the quote to
make youtube look bad.


The first sentence in the TOS paragraph is

For clarity, you retain all of your ownership rights in your User Submissions

that website is such a crock of sh1t.

it omitted perhaps the most important lines from the damn TOS.

im actually pretty pissed

I don't think YouTube ever had any interest in hijacking their users' comments, I always thought that was just to protect themselves.

People overreact and draw stupid stupid conclusions without thinking.
