    I’m a big fan of TOSDR and recommend everyone check it out.

    I did not know this existed, thank you!

    You waive your moral rights

    Except to the extent that any such waiver is prohibited by law, you hereby waive the benefit of any provision of law known as “moral rights” or “droit moral” or any similar law in any country of the world.

    Wow, I didn’t even know it was possible to waive our moral rights, some heavy shit right there.

    And I had to lol when I saw it was coming from Blizzard of all places.

    Edit: It’s actually a different kind of morals, not in the general public sense (Right vs Wrong) definition that we all know.

    Still seems immoral though, controlling someone else’s work, as if it is your own, so thoroughly.

      In context it means all user content submitted in the games is effectively fully owned by Blizzard, a copyright assignment clause (this differs from the typical “we get a perpetual license to what you submit to us”)

        I understand what you mean now by them saying you wave your moral rights as a matter of giving up your rights to any product you create.

        Still seems immoral of them to just grab your creations and claim it as their own, but “viva capitalism!” I guess.
