The editing revolution is over! WeVideo is here!

You failed to warn people about this service…

https://www.wevideo.com/terms-of-use

“You hereby grant to WeVideo a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable license to reproduce, publically perform, publically display, distribute, and use your user content submitted, posted, created, or transmitted on or through, or otherwise associated with your use of, the Site or Services (collectively your “User Content”) and any WeVideo videos created using User Content solely in connection with the Site and Services.”

Use it, and anything you upload, or produce…they can use for whatever reason they want…even sell it. But, they don’t prevent you from using it for your purposes…at least they let you do that.

The Pinterest lawyers had to back off and revise.

Be interesting to see if these folks have to do the same.

We’re entering the era where once you post anything, it’s instantly available to everyone – and the issues of who “creates” every part of every post creates a monstrous legal minefield that nobody has come even close to figuring out yet.

We’re dealing with 21st century behavior using rules created largely with 19th century legal thinking.

I don’t have a clue about the “right way” to handle all of this. But it’s going to be a constant and on-going hassle until society comes to grips with whatever IP is going to become in a future that is increasingly totally connected and instantaneously accessible.

Wow Shane- I was almost to the end of your post before I realized that this was not a parody but in fact the new reality of TV.
Another reason the “cloud” paradigm is unsettling.

This may be a stretch but the story of the man who lost his deceased daughter’s voicemail because the service provider deleted them is another alarm sounded. The poor guy lost this connection with his daughter for all time. It’s too bad he was unaware of the pitfalls and never made his own copies to protect this from happening. I believe however that this is the norm and too many rely on cyber ware which could be also referred to is cyber where? They don’t not physically possess the asset and believe that their irreplaceable media is protected into perpetuity. It’s out of their hands and their control.

The cloud should serve as an adjunct and convenience for sharing and distribution not an end all be all and major issues such as property and distribution rights are still to be determnined.

how does this fit in to the FCPX thread?
Should be moved into the Adobe Premiere after the Adobe announced the creative cloud solution.

[Thomas Frank] “Should be moved into the Adobe Premiere after the Adobe announced the creative cloud solution.”

Adobe Creative Cloud is not browser-based. It will add some cloud-based services (including cloud storage and device and PC sync) to the desktop tools. See the Creative Cloud FAQ [link] under “What are the components of Adobe Creative Cloud?”

I think Avid showed a browser-based cloud editing solution at NAB in 2010, though.

Gotta love the classy way the spell “publicly” wrong in one paragraph and right in the other!

It was more of a joke since this dogging FCPX is getting old but anyways that is true but did Avid ever deliver?

Not to mention the lack of proof reading.
