I just noticed this on my PayPal receipt. My PayPal receipt is the intellectual property of PayPal? I have a strange and sudden urge to torrent all my receipts now.

I'd pirate your receipt.

No doubt you have somehow forfeited some right to use them for your incoming tax, leaving them to do so for their gain. Curse you PayPal!!!

1) It's a fact
2) It's not creative

They can claim copyright all they want, they'd be laughed out of court (not that I'd want to pay to prove them wrong, but they would).

Yes, and your bank card is the property of your bank, even though its sole purpose is to access your own personal money. It kind of detracts from a democracy when you go through life with companies inevitably owning everything you thought you own - then again, it's always modern things. You wouldn't buy a bag of bananas and then be told that Banana Trading Inc. actually own your bananas still and you have to register them before you can eat them and that if you give a banana to your friend, you're breaching copyright. Thank god Activision don't make bananas (though Bobby Kotick is bananas).

You signed a contract, basically this allows a merchant to confiscate your card if Visa/your bank tells them to. At least they're claiming a right they have. PayPal can claim copyright all that want on a receipt, it won't make it true.

Regardless your point has merit.

Sshhhhhhhh. I don't need my online purchasing ability reduced by over 75%.

I'll pipe down Kabuto, and I like your long-term thinking! But remember that w/either Paypal seeking to enforce their unjust copyright claims, or by their most secure databases hacked up, they lose business either way. More importantly, either way they lose customer's confidence, which'll then lead to other startups taking away their business, rendering their potential threat of reducing our online purchasing ability 75% to be moot, as nicer people running the competition would thoroughly overtake Paypal's current market monopoly!

The bananaright expires 110 years after the death of the banana farmer thanks to the Sonny Bonanna Act. Then it will finally become a public banana.
