Ever read the Google Agreement you "signed"

Nick Thompson

Here is the passage from the google contract that applies to your use of their services:

 

11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive licence to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. This licence is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the Services and may be revoked for certain Services as defined in the Additional Terms of those Services.

 

    11.2 You agree that this licence includes a right for Google to make such Content available to other companies, organizations or individuals with whom Google has relationships for the provision of syndicated services, and to use such Content in connection with the provision of those services.

 

Rememberthat  I warned you when you love letters turn up being performed as the libretto for an opera at the S.F Opera. Would you give such power to an organization that cannot spell license?

I especially give them the right to “publicly perform” something I say when I am discussing inserting things, especially when it refers to places that don’t receive a lot of solar radiation. They are very welcome to perform such things in public.

Re: Ever read the Google Agreement you "signed"

Steve Smith
Google is already negotiating the rights with HBO and Netflix for a
reality TV style show based on the FRIAM archives...   While FRIAM
archives are not hosted directly on Google, enough members (even one is
enough) with GMail accounts route the FRIAM digest through Google,
thereby signing away all of our rights.

I hear that Donald Sutherland has been approached to play Nick
Thompson.   Any speculations about the remaining caste of characters?    
We understand that Sally Field, Nicholas Cage and John Malkovich are all
reading the archives now.

I'm just hoping to get to stunt double for John Malkovitch playing my
role...  he'll have to wear a body suit of course.

When is Pamela going to write a novel about the day that the Google Board of
Directors decides that there is more money to be made in enforcing the user
contracts as written, rather than actually performing services.  

I can see the letter now:  "Dear Gary Schiltz,  We were in the process of
looking for a buyer of  the publication rights of your love letters to that
slinky nymph down the street, and we wondered if, by any chance, you would
like to buy back the right you granted to us when you signed up for gmail?"
At an average of a thousand dollars per user, a billion users, even Google
might take notice of that revenue stream.

You retain the rights because you give Google a nonexclusive license - see this apropos thread about the recent update to Reddit's <a href="http://TermsOfService, EndUserLicens/ceAgreement">TOS/EULA. Still does not mean they cannot potentially eat your lunch, as in RSR.
Also, if we are going with unrealism, I claim dibs on Christopher Lee.

I'm thinking Steve Buscemi ... or maybe Crispin Glover ... though I'd
settle for Paul Reubens or Bobcat Goldthwait.

I'd prefer to call it surrealism:  But in any case, I *can* see the
connection!
