Thoughts about everything

I keep checking the OTOS ( Opera Terms Of Service), and I just found something weird.

For a long time TOS were short, and was kinda ok. I still don’t get why ppl can’t upload videos – since if they want to do so I think ppl would rather upload their stuff to the appropriate sites (Rapidshare and its friends for example). Also for a long time “we” (the users) had our right to copyright our own work.
And today after a few weeks I looked at the OTOS and saw the following:

By uploading Content to Opera's site, you grant Opera an unrestricted, royalty-free, worldwide, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, display, perform, modify, transmit, and distribute such material in any manner, including in connection with Opera's business, and you also agree that Opera is free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques that you send Opera for any purpose.

Ok.
So Opera tries to be like FB – and it is a big problem since – Like it or not I really really doubt that OC will ever grow to the size of FB or MS. (In fact that is one of the strongest factors why I am still here)
I think FB was the sneaky one who did the same recently – not sure though and it doesn’t matter.
And I really really don’t like the idea of this paragraph, and I don’t feel like giving unrestricted license to just anybody or ANY place. It is also confusing because what if I already put everything under Creative Common License? (CCL) Than what?
When I do a tutorial, or just upload anything I do it for the community, BUT ALWAYS under some small restrictions (usually under CCL) – such as, linking back to post/my blog, name me, quote me ect.)
And now…
I don’t get it…
Sigh…

The process is easy and fast.

First you’ll need your files. – in the same directory – or at least you have to know where they are located.

So you got your files, click on “My account”, then to “Files”.




Then click on “Upload Files”





Then click on “Choose”, and select the file in your directory (yes, you have to upload them 1 by 1)





Then click on “Upload”




Then look for the file in the list (if it didn’t redirect you, then click on “Archive”)




Right click on it, and select “Copy link address”



Go back to your post where you wish to post the photo, and then click on “Insert image”





Then right click on the path it and click on paste.



Click on OK, and your photo will be there.

That’s all.
