Because a rational person will assume a TOS attempts to acquire as many rights as possible. I certainly don't read them because IANAL.
This is just a round about way of saying "I sure am surprised people think they 'own' their data if it's stored and managed by a commercial entity as a business and not spelled out as a primary feature of the service".
- freeone3000 10y agoThe primary business purpose of Evernote is, indeed, selling data storage and access. The price tiers are based, in part, on max upload and max amount of notes.
- duaneb 10y agoI'm not quite sure what you're saying. Are you agreeing with me, or are you arguing that protecting the legal ownership and rights to data is a primary selling point of the product? I just don't see it.
- matt4077 10y agoThat's not a rational person, it's a simplifying-until-wrong person. That person is neglecting the fact that it's not in the business' interest to "acquire all rights". The main reason being that _some_ layer would read it and _everyone_ would read it the next in the New York Times. A secondary reason is that it'd be illegal and/or unenforceable in many jurisdictions.
