Perhaps I have misunderstood though it seems you have avoided my question: 1. Do you, youare.tv, get perpetual rights to the material? Yes?
The reason why this is so terrible for the content creator can be illustrated by the following example: This xmas season, a guy made a video of his christmas tree lights that spread all around the internet and became one of the most memorable and cantagious videos ever. Within about two weeks, the guy sold the video to a major beer advertiser. If his video was on your system, the beer company could have called you to do the deal, undermining him entirely. The beer company could have also put you and the guy in a bidding war, happily watching the price fall to see who would make any money at all. Therefore, this model of your service, I believe, is hurtful for anyone who creates content that they feel is or ever could be worth anything more than $0. --- In [email protected], "esteban_k2" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I really do hate to get into this over a message board. > > But the terms basically say: > > 1.
