With this week's deep dive on Homebrew on the Dev Update stream, I tried to ask this question but was directed to the forums. I've seen some concerns expressed online regarding the Fandom/Curse Terms of Service with respect to ownership of User Content (Section 8a of these ToS: https://www.fandom.com/curse-terms-of-service). One specific comment made was:
"Basically anything you upload, they can take and sell, and you are [expletive] out of luck, and you cannot republish anything you publish on there anywhere else. You are giving up all publishing to content you put on their platform. You effectively do not own your work anymore."
That seems a bit hyperbolic to me, and the language in those ToS looks pretty standard to me for an online platform. But would you care to comment on the specific claims that:
Users would be unable to republish anything we put up on dndbeyond.
Users give up all publishing (rights?) to their content they put on dndbeyond.
Users effectively do not own their own work anymore.
I've just checked direct with Adam (Badeye) - publishing your homebrew content on D&D Beyond doesn't limit your ability to post your content elsewhere. You may use your content as you wish - it's your content after all!
Thanks!
