PSN TOS updated; now owns your soul for agreeing

[What Would Kevin Do?]

"To the extent permitted by law, You authorize and license SCEA a royalty free and perpetual right to use, distribute, copy, modify, display, and publish your User Material for any reason without any restrictions or payments to you or any third parties," Sony explains. "You further agree that SCEA may sublicense its rights to any third party, including its affiliates and subsidiaries. You hereby waive all claims, including any moral rights, against SCEA, its affiliates and subsidiaries for SCEA or any other third party's use of User Material to the extent permitted by applicable law."

That clause isn't that uncommon. Trust me, it's not like Sony's going to find a CAW you made in Smackdown, and steal it from you to make it their new mascot. More likely than not, that clause is in place so if they use someone's created LBP level, or use someone's created song in GH:WT, etc, in a promo, commercial, press conference, etc, etc, they can't be sued for it.

It also means, that in theory, if you do something totally inappropriate (IE, putting pictures of your dick up in LBP), they can remove them, remove the level, etc.

This isn't some huge scheme by Sony. Sony wants to protect themselves, and those clauses were drafted by lawyers as the most efficient way for it to be done.
