I wonder how they go about licensing content people have shared from others without their consent?
I'm guessing they signed that dotted line by making an account.
If I went and reposted someone else’s work there, me making an account doesn’t give them permission to that persons work.
And reddit is like 90% reposted content.
Ok that's true... No idea is all messed up.
Change the TOS?
Changing the TOS won't change the license for things the person posting it don't own in the first place.
If I go to reddit and post the lyrics to the latest Taylor Swift single, does reddit (and thus google) now own the rights to her song?
