Thanks, Steve. I was sure I saw that
somewhere. However, when someone asks for documentation, I'm at a loss
sometimes. I really was worried that I had made a mistake
somewhere.
Your paragraph is exactly what I was referring
to. Now, if they have rights to use and transfer, etc., doesn't that make
them co-owners of whatever you post there?

continuing frustration
Try this:
http://www.youtube.com/terms.php
Its
probably the following stuff from section 5 that Randolfe was
refring to.
Its enough to put me off, obviously they have to be given
the rights to
distribute the work or they couldnt function, but
perpetual and
sublicensable and transferable, hmm thats going a bit
far, they can pretty
much do what they like with peoples videos. Also
'through any media
channels' suggests they can in theory take your
videos and show them on TV
etc without giving you a dime:
"For clarity, you shall retain all of
your ownership rights in your
User Submissions. However, by submitting the
User Submissions to
YouTube, you hereby grant YouTube a worldwide,
non-exclusive, fully
paid-up, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual,
sublicenseable and
transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute,
prepare derivative
works of, display, perform and otherwise exploit the
User Submissions
in connection with the YouTube Website and YouTube's (and
its
successor's) business, including without limitation for promoting
and
redistributing part or all of the YouTube Website (and
derivative
works thereof) in any media formats and through any media
channels.
You also hereby grant each user of the YouTube Website a
non-exclusive
license to access your User Submissions through the Website,
and to
use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display
and
perform such User Submissions as permitted through the
functionality
of the Website and under these Terms of
Service"
As for Randolfes other complaint about family friendly /
obscenity
stuff, thats pretty standard terms & conditions for most
webhosts or
server provider, it doesnt actually mean they will filter out
adult or
slightly objectionable stuff, it just gives them the right to do
so if
they fel they have to.
