Public performance of service #3

Closed ukhaiku closed 12 years ago

ukhaiku commented 12 years ago

Not sure if I'm misunderstanding the legalese, but: "However, unless we expressly state otherwise, your rights does not include: (i) publicly performing or publicly displaying the Service.."

Two issues: 1 - spelling mistake, does instead of do 2 - I think this clause prevents me using App.net when I'm not at home..?! Also I think publicly performing or displaying the service should be within my rights as a paid user of the Service - whether that is on my iPad or more publicly...

So this language is designed to protect our IP rights to the service (the platform, logos, code, etc.) and according to our lawyers we need to include specific language in its entirety for the protection to be valid. Not prohibiting anyone from using the service in public.
