Be Careful Before You Use It

Google have today released their own internet browser, named Chrome. Potential users who may not bother to read the terms of use before using it may be surprised to find that ANYTHING you post on the internet using Chrome will be owned by Google.

11.1 of the Terms of Service of Chrome reads:

11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.

Ummmmm....

It seems google used a standard legal text, realised afterwards its error and redacted the offending part shown in the original post. I just checked the terms of use and it is nothing like in the title. This is the actual section;

11. Content license from you

11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.

So yay, crisis averted.
