Google Chrome Terms of Service - Users hold the rights
Google chrome was released in beta stage and so there were surely going to be hundreds of suggestions from people. One of the things people were against that Google had mentioned earlier that they own the content copyrights if anything is shared through Chrome and this was certainly not liked by people.
Now, Google has taken this into consideration and changed the terms, and the old one had said -
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. 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. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the Services and may be revoked for certain Services as defined in the Additional Terms of those Services.
11.2 You agree that this license includes a right for Google to make such Content available to other companies, organizations or individuals with whom Google has relationships for the provision of syndicated services, and to use such Content in connection with the provision of those services.
11.3 You understand that Google, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Services to our users, may (a) transmit or distribute your Content over various public networks and in various media; and (b) make such changes to your Content as are necessary to conform and adapt that Content to the technical requirements of connecting networks, devices, services or media. You agree that this license shall permit Google to take these actions.
11.4 You confirm and warrant to Google that you have all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the above license.
The new one ends and starts only with -
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 finally one more suggestion accepted by Google and we own the content copyrights, not Google.
Now update your posts if you had complained about this earler.
