Terms of Use Q&A

Terms of Use Q&A

What are the terms concerning for comments etc submitted by users? Does the website own the copyright?

The basic terms of use document includes an licence of copyright in user comments and other user content, rather than an assignment. One reason for taking this approach is that there are legal impediments to making an effective assignment of copyright (assignments need to be signed by the assignor). Another reason is that users may object to giving up the copyright in their content.

The suggested licence says that the website owner may "use, reproduce, adapt, publish, translate and distribute" the content. You may want to cut back this licence to cover only those rights which are really necessary. For example, the right of adaptation can often be excluded.
