Zune Marketplace Terms of Service


I'm slogging through these terms, trying to figure out what you can and cannot do with your Zune and stumbled across a few What-the-Heck?! moments. Here is one of my favorites:

"In using the service, you may not...create a Zunetag or motto that other users may be offended by, including words that sound like, stand for, hint at, abbreviate, or insinuate any of the following: profane words/phrases, sexually explicit language, sexual innuendo, hate speech (including but not limited to racial, ethnic, or religious slurs), illegal drugs/controlled substances, or illegal activities"

And another. Who thought "I'm going to buy a music player, but first let me get ready to insult the victims of crimes against humanity. Oh no. Wait. It's aginst the TOS."?

"In using the service, you may not...publish, distribute or disseminate any topic, name, material, file or information that incites discrimination, hate or violence towards one person or a group because of their race, religion, nationality, transgender status, homosexual status or HIV/AIDS status, or that insults the victims of crimes against humanity by contesting the existence of those crimes"
