I'm always really doubtful this is applicable in the end, especially in the EU. You can't give up all your copyright like this

You can't give up the right to sign your work with your name. But you can definitely share rights to reproduce your work etc — although perhaps not in a clickable EULA.

Regardless, I'm not one to use or otherwise promote such shitty behavior.
Not sure why cloudflare seems to be in such good standing on hn.

> Now tell me what is cool Not immediately being a copyright bootlicker. The fact that you went straight to "BuT pIrAtEs" already shows who you actually care: Corpos, not people.
A dirty secret is that piracy is being abused by criminal organizations[1]. When people unknowingly access such sites to see contents for free, it generate ad revenue for those organizations, which can fund other crimes. [1]: https://www.interpol.int/en/Crimes/Illicit-goods/Projects/Pr...
Broadly speaking any organisation facilitating piracy is implicitly a criminal one. Piracy is a pretty large field though and the economics of say a streaming site are going to be very different from running a torrent tracker. The fact you can use a torrent tracker without even visiting the site (Radarr/Sonarr etc) tells me that running a tracker site, probably isn't very lucrative.

If you don’t give them a license to display the works you give them to display, how can they legally display it?
Perpetual and irrevocable? Derivative works?
Derivative could just be "let CF append your Google Analytics tag and that funny cursor-follower script.
Perpetual is way harder to justify though.

People are losing the ability to read. Lots of high schoolers are incapable of reading properly already. Attention spans shrink. We got some fun times ahead of us. We need these legal texts as short form TikTok content I am afraid.
I have plenty of ability to read, but I never read these T&Cs because they’re usually dozens of pages long and life’s too short (or, if you prefer, the cost/benefit doesn’t support it). For consumers in Europe, at least, it’s usually safe to assume that anything too shitty is unenforceable, which helps.
A good idea for a Firefox extension. Something that parses T&C's and pops up a DANGER warning on a page.

#219Really excited about the upcoming Cloudflare FTP.
Re: Cloudflare Drop
#220I can see this interface is for vibe coders haha I have been hosting static websites with cloudflare for years and finding how to do it on the UI is getting harder as they add more things and reoranize.
Does the T&C differ if you do it the old fashioned way ?
