Any idea, suggestion, or comment you send to Netflix — through any channel — becomes Netflix's to use forever, for free, for any purpose, and you cannot claim credit or object to how they use it.
If you share a creative idea with Netflix (such as a show concept or product suggestion), Netflix can use it commercially without paying you or acknowledging your contribution, and you agree not to assert moral rights over that content.
This new provision grants Netflix unlimited rights to all user feedback and communications without compensation or attribution, significantly expanding Netflix's intellectual property claims over user-generated content.
View full change record →This provision means any creative feedback you submit to Netflix — including product ideas or content suggestions — can be used by Netflix indefinitely and for any commercial purpose without compensation; the moral rights waiver is particularly significant in jurisdictions like France and Germany where such rights are normally non-waivable by statute.

1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: The moral rights waiver engages the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (Art. 6bis), which establishes moral rights as fundamental author rights, and national implementations thereof — particularly in France (Code de la propriété intellectuelle, Art. L. 121-1, which renders moral rights inalienable) and Germany (Urheberrechtsgesetz §14, §25). In the UK, the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (ss. 77-89) permits some waiver of moral rights by contract. Singapore's Copyright Act 2021 does not provide statutory moral rights for most works, so the waiver has limited effect locally. The perpetual, royalty-free license structure is common in consumer ToS globally but the explicit moral rights waiver is less standard. 2)
