Couple of quick questions:
Q: Once a video is uploaded, who owns that content?
Q: Once a video is uploaded, what rights to the content is the "owner" giving up? i.e How can the content be used by PPV / PR or it's subsidiaries? |
there was not meant to be a link to the terms on the outside, sign up, only takes a min, and you will be presented with the terms when we accept the account, sorry for this, but I wanted to keep the terms inside the password protected area, and speed up the initial join process.
the terms completely cover content ownership, but I will try to touch on it here, you are not giving up any rights to the content, it is yours. If you don't like the program, we will remove your content. You are granting us the right to stream your video in the free areas of our site, and to provide streaming and downloading of your video in the members area. Thus far no one has complained about the fact that we provide downloading in the members area, however I imagine posting that information here might cause a stir. Remember this is a free site, so there are minimal members, and because they are paying to be members of a site that they could have for free, we need to provide them with additional benefits. The downloading is limited to the lower qualities, and the members area is being fitted with the same ad underneath the video as the tour, so there will still be branding and traffic generation opportunities (should be live today). Additionally we are exploring a few methods to change this, such as only enabling a download if the user pays a 1 time fee for which you will get paid.
Although the product has been in progress for well over a year, and we are very comfortable with how it works now, the future of it will include many changes, so we will explore necessary improvements and changes along with the suggestions and concerns of our partners.
