I mean TOS, EULAs etc only go so far. If you think they are the word of god - then I'll create a TOS on my site that says for every page view you agree to pay me $X. Then when I sue you to get the money - any judge who isn't taking mind altering drugs should throw it out. Interestingly enough Apple also had their Safari EULA state that you couldn't install it on a PC [1]. Obviously it was never brought to court - but still I'm sure thousands of people violated the EULA. My take is yes - someone who operates a website/service can blanket content you upload unless you explicitly state otherwise. So here is a hypothetical question - you own the copyright of the material in question. Reddit makes a copy of your reddit post for their daily feed or something - could you send a DMCA removal request? I'm sure you would say no because of the TOS - but don't you own the original copyright? > This is the same as those misguided souls posting copyright notices under their Facebook messages. And from what I read basically Facebook has the ability to use public posts/pictures - which makes total sense (posting the copyright notice only makes you look like a fool). If you don't want them to use it - adjust your privacy settings. Here is an example of a ridiculous TOS [2]. > Permission is granted to freely print, unmodified, up to 200 copies How do you know how many I printed? Perhaps I scanned copies - would those be considered prints? [1] http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/10-ridiculous-eula-clauses-agreed/ http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/10-ridiculous-eula-clauses-agre...
