I agree. But sometimes the copyright license conceded by the user goes way beyond what's needed for the service. Why do you give rights to sublicense and to transfer to Facebook or Twitter?

- SoftwareMaven 14y agoSo the developers who built apps that read your FB/Twitter stream are also licensed to show the content.
- hugoroy 14y agoNot necessary (see SoundCloud for instance). The whole problem is that the copyright license is just overbroad and not limited at all.
- SoftwareMaven 14y agoPartially necessary. And I completely agree with you. The licenses they demand are far broader than what they need, but that goes to the imbalance inherent in the relationship: big company with lots of money for lawyers versus some person just wanting to tell his friends what he had for lunch.
