You keep ownership of content you create, but you permanently and irrevocably give Riot the right to use, copy, modify, and promote that content for free, anywhere in the world, without ever asking your permission again.
Players who share custom content or creative work through Riot's platforms grant Riot an irrevocable, royalty-free global license, meaning Riot can commercially exploit that content indefinitely without compensating the creator.

1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §106) regarding scope of copyright license grants. EU Directive 2019/790 (Digital Single Market Copyright Directive, Art. 17) requires platforms to take reasonable measures to ensure content licensing is lawful. GDPR Art. 17 (right to erasure) creates a potential conflict — users may request deletion of personal data embedded in user-generated content, but the irrevocable license grant may conflict with full erasure. CCPA similarly provides deletion rights that may conflict with irrevocable license terms. 2)
