Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

So, for /reasons/, I decided to read the BlueSky ToS tonight.

bsky.social/about/suppor...

These user agreements for UCHISPs usually have a clause that reads i.e.

"Subject to your complete compliance with these Terms, [entity] grants you a [qualifiers] license to …"

I'm not seeing one, here

Terms of Service - Bluesky

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I see a clause where endusers grant BlueSky the license to

[share] User Content throughout Bluesky Social and the AT Protocol

& permission to

store and present User Content to other users in Bluesky Social. This allows us to show your posts in the Bluesky app to other users;

HOWEVER -

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I don't see the other half.

BlueSky makes a bargain with each of us to certain rights to the content we ask to host here,

BUT

never seems to explicitly license us to use other user's content in any way

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Indeed, the user agreement disclaims -

Bluesky does not control others' use of your content.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

So the user agreement seems entirely to be a license to access & use the services.

And there is no conveyed license in the default user agreement to any other users to any of an arbitrary user's content.

the That in the Hat 🏳️⚧️ (@thatharper.bsky.social):

So, uh...

Do reskeets violate copyright

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I am so far from equipped to answer that question.

I do know that there were argued cases which deliberated over whether a text that is 120 characters in length is capable of having copyrights vest in it … but don't know the outcome or inferred parameters from that

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Do texts that are only 300 characters in length have copyrights automatically vest in them under US jurisdiction upon fixation in a medium

I don't know.

Do reskeets violate copyright

I don't know

Which is interesting.

I am not a lawyer, not your lawyer, and none of this is legal advice. I'm just the kind of knurd who reads Terms of Service & Acceptable Use Policies in case I find a secret lever hidden in them

Daemonia (@daemonia.bsky.social):

Well You have our respects for reading ToS. Since this stuff isn't as straightforward as ppl like it to be.**

*we have examples of this unrelated to the current blue-sky discourse.
