Amazon Begs Me To Work For Free, I Accede
So Amazon has been spamming me, asking me to write reviews of products that I've purchased from them.
The thing is, if I write a review for them they own my words. Plus I've added value to their site. For free. They want me to work for free.
If you do post content or submit material ... you grant Amazon.com and its affiliates a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such content throughout the world in any media.
Yikes.
So I turned it in to a fun writing exercise with various degrees of success.
I am a little disappointed that you didn't consistently use exclamation points at the end of every sentence of every review (you were on a roll there for a while). Other than that, I think that your reviews are great!
I dunno, Stevie, the blender one seems almost sincere. People might think you seriously like the thing.
And I'm flattered to have made it in. Do I get dirty books again next year?
