Welcome to eBayopia

On ebay:

Ebay Netherlands introduced a new user agreement, stating many things, but
one thing caught my eye:

"6.3 Licentie. Om eBay in staat te stellen Uw Informatie te gebruiken
geeft u ons ten aanzien van Uw Informatie een niet-exclusieve,
wereldwijde, ononderbroken, onherroepelijke, royaltyvrije en (via meerdere
derden) overdraagbare licentie tot het uitoefenen van de auteursrechten,
handelsmerken, publiciteits- en databaserechten die u met betrekking tot
Uw Informatie bezit in iedere nu bekende alsook nog onbekende media voor
zover noodzakelijk om onze diensten aan u te verlenen. U ziet ook af van
alle morele rechten die u hebt met betrekking tot Uw Informatie in de
hoogste mate toegestaan door de wet"

Suggesting: I give Ebay the nonexclusive, worldwide, uninterrupted,
irrevokable, royaltyfree, (via multiple third parties) transferrable
license to exercise my copyrights, trademark rights, publicity and
database rights which I have with regard to my information provided to
eBay in any currently known and, as yet, unknown media as far as necessary
to supply me with ebays' services. I also waive any moral rights which I
might have with regard to my information to the highest degree allowed by
law.

I think this is a pretty dictatorial statement from eBay to allow me to
have them earn money while I buy products from a stranger.

I am seriously reconsidering dopping my ebay account just because of it.
Any thoughts ?

Regards,
Harald.
