Hey Brad, everyone,
Anyone know if the new facebook terms regarding their ownership of content uploaded by users extends to media such as a game...? I don't have a game on Facebook, but I know Brad just put fancy up there a bit ago. Here's a link to an article about it and a quote they highlighted from out of the legal jargon:
'The way they stand now, Facebook's terms of service claim that the company does not have ownership over content, yet that it does have "an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (to)...use, copy, publish, stream, store, retain, publicly perform or display, transmit, scan, reformat, modify, edit, frame, translate, excerpt, adapt, create derivative works, and distribute" material as long as it doesn't violate the privacy preferences set by the user.'
To me that part about creating derivative works is pretty applicable to a game. I mean there may be some professional terms associated with content like a game that supersedes the general user terms...but I thought it was worth bringing it up.
