Google Chrome = Scam?

[SockpuppetClock]

I read the EULA, and there's nothing like what RomanClock posted, so I assume they changed it...

Never installed it never will

No, it's still there. Read section 11.

But Google Docs has the same EULA there, and I've got most of my novels on there. Maybe I should relocate them...

This same convo is going on at Reddit right now, and it's being similarly rebutted (with plenty of upvotes from people who agree):

Just so you know I'm not the only one making such an assertion.

Personally, I'd rather it not be there either, but I've gotten to know how crazy legal departments can get about covering their asses for everything that I know it's just a pipe dream. (no, the registered trademark in the logo has to be this color, and this size, and this far away from the logo in this circumstance, and differently for this other circumstance, etc etc....I've had to rework so many trailers and marketing assets sooo many times from the incredibly strict demands from different companies' legal departments, and I hate it).

But again, what they can do is explicitly limited in the agreement anyway, so I'm not too worried.

Oh... I read the wrong section.

It's cool to hate Google 'cuz it's the "big" thing.

Though this license agreement is worth debate.

Google isn't a bad company, I'm just talking about these Terms and how they are bleh.

A lot of companies have EULAs like that where you agree that all content submitted to it can be used by the company for certain things, strangely enough. Now it's suddenly sinister when Google has it?

They are similar, but with Google its any time you use the service, not under specific conditions.

Just because you didn't highlight them doesn't mean they're not specific conditions.

google is so googlish

I don't know what you mean, but in the Firefox Terms its restricted only to download-firefox.org and not ANY time you use Firefox. Where as with Google, you only have to use the browser, not a specific site or specific tools.
The specific conditions listed in this agreement is use of the Services which is defined as Google’s products, software, services and web sites. So if you use Google Chrome, EVERYTHING you do with it can be distributed by Google.

Google wants to own the internet, so everything will be their content legally, and you can charge people for content you legally own!

And now time for a Lord of the Rings reference

But they were all of them,deceived ; for another browser was forged.
And in the fires of Google's offices the dark lord SATAN forged in secret a master browser to control EVERYTHING. One by one the n00by internet users failed to read the fine print and sold their souls to Google.

But there were some, who resisted.
     
A last alliance of artists and programmers, put Google through a massive shitstorm and stabbed their orcs.

But they got pwnz'd and so now the internet is FUCKED.

Would someone check if Chrome passes Acid 2.0 for me?
