The SRC situation is weird and their new terms of service are a mess, yes, but can we stop saying "they're trying to claim ownership of our speedruns" when they absolutely are NOT doing that and nowhere does it say they are?? I understand the (over)reactions but there's been so much misinformation

Yeah from my understanding it’s “what they can do potentially with our content and information” rather than some sort of ownership. It’s definitely incredibly vague hence being disconcerting; idk twitch pulled some similar vibes in the past and we saw how it worked out years later

I think a lot of people cannot understand how copyright works. It's not easy to explain tbf, but when you added content to SRC before, it was licensed under Creative Commons to *everyone*. Now it only requires a narrower license granted specifically to SRC, which is better for the uploader.

The ambiguities mentioned in the SRC post are simply that the Creative Commons license didn't differentiate between user content and site content afaict, and didn't clearly state what specifically was under CC vs only being owned by the user without being licensed. Now it seems a lot cleaner.
