> I relinquish said minor dependent into the care of Amazon in perpetuity

Lol I am reading this as Amazon will take care of my kid in perpetuity.

I think that's exactly their point (it's a joke)

Well, jahabrewer is saying Amazon's lawyers seem almost evil enough to take kids from parents, while hartator is expressing possible interest in offering a child to Amazon. I'm thinking hartator's kid is going to grow up someday soon and find his parent's posts on HN. When said child finds this post, it will be an interesting day... ;-)

Yes, exactly. I was seeing this as a net positive. :)

actually believed this was quoted from the ToS by the time i got to #8

It sounds like point #8 is intended to ensure Amazon can exert their other claims, rather than being intended control over the employee. The outcome may be the same so it does not make it right, but it does not support suggestions of devious ulterior motives.
