>Announced today on Marvel.com, Marvel is launching Create Your Own, an app that lets you make your own Marvel Comics, making comic book creators obsolete!
>And of course, as The Verge points out, any comics you create using the app, you give Marvel ” the perpetual, irrevocable, exclusive, royalty-free and fully transferable and sub-licensable right, for the full term of copyright protection available (including renewal terms), to use, reproduce, transmit, communicate to the public, print, publish, publicly display, publicly perform, exhibit, distribute, redistribute, license, sub-license, copy, index, comment upon, modify, adapt, translate, create derivative works based upon, make available, and otherwise exploit, in whole or in part, in all languages, anywhere in the world, by all means, methods, processes, and media formats and channels now known or hereafter devised, in any number of copies and without limit as to time, manner or frequency of use, without further notice to you, with or without attribution, and without the requirement of permission from or payment to you or any other person or entity.” So if your comic is good enough, Marvel could even publish it, if we’re getting technical about it.
Is Marvel fundamentally incapable of not shooting themselves in the foot? Do they have a PR department at all?
