How are you dealing with the new CL exclusive license when posting there?
Clicking "Continue" confirms that craigslist is the exclusive licensee of this content, with the exclusive right to enforce copyrights against anyone copying, republishing, distributing or preparing derivative works without its consent.
- bunkat 14y agoPeople create their auction with us first then advertise their auctions where they want to. We also never obtain any CL listing in any way, shape, or form. If they want to go after their users for copying auction descriptions, they are more than welcome to.
- rprasad 14y agoThat's not how copyright law works. The user owns the copyright, and merely grants Craiglist a license to it. Note that a legal argument could have been made that based on the new (but since abandoned) Craiglist TOS, by posting to Craiglist a user was revoking all prior grants of license to other sites, i.e., including any licenses granted to BidKat (by virtue of using BidKat). In such case, you would have been the one in CL's crosshairs, not the user.
