I’m a big fan of TOSDR and recommend everyone check it out.

I did not know this existed, thank you!

Except to the extent that any such waiver is prohibited by law, you hereby waive the benefit of any provision of law known as “moral rights” or “droit moral” or any similar law in any country of the world.

Wow, I didn’t even know it was possible to waive our moral rights, some heavy shit right there.

And I had to lol when I saw it was coming from Blizzard of all places.

I’m guessing that’s not enforceable per much anywhere, hence the “unless prohibited by law” part. But they stick it in there so they can scare you into giving up a legal fight. Most terms of service are throwing crap at the wall and seeing what sticks.

  My understanding is it actually is, as other companies also use that clause. Having said that, IANAL.

  /agree
  
  However that can make for a lot of negative PR, if people actually start noticing that clause and talk about it to each other.

    Just because everyone does it doesn’t make it legal, it just means there aren’t penalties for putting it in. That’s why everyone goes 5-10mph over the speed limit, lack of enforcement doesn’t make something legal.

In context it means all user content submitted in the games is effectively fully owned by Blizzard, a copyright assignment clause (this differs from the typical “we get a perpetual license to what you submit to us”)

  How does a Morality Clause do that? I don’t think you’re correct on this.
