On sharing copyrighted content #5
Comments
I am also not a lawyer, but I think something like this might be better at portraying the intended policy:

That is a much better wording, but you're leaving out the case of copyright exceptions, which also don't constitute copyright infringment. A bruteforce way of solving this would be to replace "Sharing any kind of copyrighted content" with "Copyright infringement":
Or include "copyright" in "intellectual property":
Or make it explicit:
I am not too happy about either of these three (I believe they all convey the message correctly, I just feel they could be more elegant), but I feel they would solve the issue. |
I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.
I understand and agree with the intention of this, however the wording can be improved.
The issue is "[s]haring any kind of copyrighted content". There are three cases in which this is legal and should be allowed:
Even in these three cases, one is technically sharing copyrighted content, so is in violation of the literal meaning (not the intention) of the first phrase of this clause and, since the rest is in disjunction, of the clause as a whole.
I believe the clause should be rephrased such that its literal meaning aligns with its intention.
