ToS #30

Closed matthewr6 closed 9 years ago

matthewr6 commented 9 years ago

I'm thinking we copy most of what another site has, because I don't want to call a lawyer to review hand-written ToS (though we probably should after modifying whatever ToS we use)

We might have viruses!?!

BookOwl commented 9 years ago

Or do you mean the projects?

an-OK-squirrel commented 9 years ago

Nuuuuu! I'm quitting if I get viruxes xP

"No. Just no. This is a bad idea on so many levels. A good license will do everything you need. And copying licenses / terms of services, is still copying... putting you in more legal trouble than you started in.

(Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice. Consult a lawyer if you're serious about this.)"

matthewr6 commented 9 years ago

The Service encapsulate everything shared. To be honest, it's just to cover out butts.

And bobbybee, I'm not sure if you realize - licenses are quite different than Terms.

an-OK-squirrel commented 9 years ago

I think the / means both of them.

matthewr6 commented 9 years ago

Um you can't copy a license... so I have no idea what he/she means by "copying a license" xD Also, Terms have tendencies to be extremely similar (I searched for the exact phrase multiple times and found the phrases in quite a few places, so it's either that everyone copies from everyone or it's standard legal stuff)

Lol xD

matthewr6 commented 9 years ago

facepalm Just change the name to an-OK-squirrel and it's all yours xD

an-OK-squirrel commented 9 years ago

YES! Time to steal Google xD

matthewr6 commented 9 years ago

muahaha

an-OK-squirrel commented 9 years ago

Scrap this, steal AdMob and make millions! xD

matthewr6 commented 9 years ago

Haha, yeah. Seriously, anything else? Since most of us (if not all) are minors, though, I don't think we can get in too much trouble.

PullJosh commented 9 years ago

That's the spirit!

an-OK-squirrel commented 9 years ago

That's why I'm not writing this. If I'm still doing this when I turn 18.... Plus, I've never revealed my adress/realname anywhere ever, so I'm safe.

matthewr6 commented 9 years ago

I thought you were Nancy E. Sanchez, 5'5" and 43 xD https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/136140/?page=1#post-1242778

PullJosh commented 9 years ago

xD

an-OK-squirrel commented 9 years ago

Now we could get in trouble if we used her name for the copyright xd

matthewr6 commented 9 years ago

Should we have projects uploaded under a license? (probably same license as Scratch)

BookOwl commented 9 years ago

@Firedrake979 Ok, just wanted to make sure. I think it will work fine. (DISCLAIMER: I am not a lawyer, and can not give legal advice (gosh we know already)) Oh, and whenever you say "cover our butts", I keep seeing the first scene in the Lego movie where vivtrivius (?) tells the guards " He's coming. Cover your butts" LOL

matthewr6 commented 9 years ago

I'll see if I can add something saying that all projects are uploaded under the CC license and that any content they upload they acknowledge that they have the legal right to use.

an-OK-squirrel commented 9 years ago

Yep!

PullJosh commented 9 years ago

BookOwl commented 9 years ago

matthewr6 commented 9 years ago

BookOwl commented 9 years ago
