Phirate - Card ID Numbers, Ownership

1/14/08 17:05

The reason for the different numbers is that we need to retain your older cards in case they're still in use in an advert. As you're all aware, when you make a change to your Entrecard it only takes effect for ads you get from then on, not for ads currently running. The way we do this is by assigning each uploaded card (image or not) a new id, and keeping reference to the old ID for existing ads.

This also allows us to maintain an audit trail for complaints, for example if you uploaded something pornographic so that it'd get front-page on the categories, and then switch it back again 10 minutes later, we'd still be able to review the original in the event of a complaint.

Regarding owning the logos you upload, we don't. The wording is "non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish". You own it, you grant us the right to use it.

With regard to the reasoning behind having a statement that does not restrict the use of the images to the promotion of Entrecard, I can't make any authoritative comment - ianal.

We will make sure that during the next ToS review with a lawyer that the issue is considered.
