The word "modify" in Your Content & Conduct

[pameladavisbean]

In this section:

"When you post, link or otherwise make available content to the Service, you grant us the right and license to use, reproduce, modify, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute your content on or through the Service."

The word "modify" seems awfully broad. I know you don't intend to modify the words in anyone's post, so I wonder if you want to make it more specific about the limits, what you won't modify.

Perhaps "reformat" would suffice for App.net's purposes. Alternately, they could include a clause explicitly saying that App.net may not make editorial changes to the content.

Always best to be as specific as possible if you are protecting users rights. The vagaries of the ad-supported networks are there to protect their businesses. I am expecting App.net to be different.
