The full phrasing is “If you do post content or submit material, and unless we indicate otherwise, you grant Amazon.com and its affiliates a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such content throughout the world in any media.”
This last bit of information seems to me the most interesting because it would enable them to develop any sort of new content and why not in-print to further develop their brand.
I would be very interesting to see what would happen in the future. I have also put a trigger in watchwebsite to see if they modify it.
Original text in English and in French (“article 10″)
The structure of the text is the same in both language :
- Not illegal
- Not misleading and stolen identy
- Right of Amazon but not the obligation to remove or edit and leave to the users the responsibility of the posted content.
- You grant amazon.com non exclusive royalty-free () rights to use … derivative work from.
However, the French and English text are different, In France the readers’ renunce to be identified as the author of the comment. That may be due to some particularity of the French law. The French law give doesn’t allow the author to completely waived his right.
