I don't suppose many people read eula's, but i do. And I REALLY don't like this one. Check out section 11.1
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 license 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
So, in essence, by using chrome you give google the ability to do whatever the hell it wants with whatever you put online, anywhere, anyhow through any of its services without ever having to pay you or acknowledge you. You still "retain copyright", but that is essentially meaningless becase you waive everything your copyright gives you. This is even if you don't tick the "yes, please do monitor everything i do" box.
Chrome may be fast, but the price of admission is everything you make and do. |
