  Paper. You can use paper and take a picture with your phone.

    Hmm does this Pa-per record my usage, or harvest data from the room I use it in? What about the EULA for Pa-per, you know, in case I want to understand all the ways I’m being taken advantage of, but listed in the hardest to consume way possible?

  Yeah, that’s not great. It also puts all responsibility of content on the user, so if you post something offensive, they’re not going to be the ones blamed. But if you post some art that they can make money off of, they definitely want that. We live in a gross world.

    IANAL, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that language is legally necessary to offer the ability to store and share stuff

  Maybe don’t draw art that you want to own on there?

  Do you refuse to throw a piece of paper away because the landfill then owns it? If for any reason the thing you’re trying to convey is private and you want to retain ownership, then obviously don’t use it, and it’s great for you to call that out so others are aware. But to vehemently dismiss some functionality because you don’t find the utility worth the cost is short sighted and childish.

    This is a very interesting point that raises a lot of questions; does throwing something in the trash by definition relinquish my ownership? What if I throw something away by accident? Where is the demarcation between my owning something and WM taking ownership? Does it then pass on to whomever owns the landfill, or subsequently whoever might dig it out of the trash? You’ve done gone and wrinkled my brain for the weekend.

      Isn’t this why dumpster diving is illegal in many places?

        As far as I know that is usually mostly a liability problem. Scavenging can be dangerous in the activity itself, and you don’t know “why” someone chose to throw away that “perfectly useable” thing. Maybe you get lucky and the reason was dumb, but there could be a very good reason. Either way the dump tells you not to, so when you get hurt doing it, it’s on you.
