Surely you mean “Great to see they’re worth their money” 🙂
I, of course, would never make any spolling mistaks

[Shane Ross] “You failed to warn people about this service…”
The old adage that “nothing is free… it may be unpriced, but it isn’t free” is more true today than ever.
[Gary Slickman] “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.”
Try explaining that to young people today. They have an absolute blind faith in all technology and trust everything in the cloud, starting with FaceBook and Google and going downhill from there.

[Bill Davis] “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 know Bill, I guess when I look at this I don’t see that complex of a situation. I don’t think the company behind WeVideo should automatically get any rights to the content that’s created with their software just like I don’t think Adobe should automatically get the rights to something that’s created using AE or PS, for example.
Now, all the people that contribute to the project, sure, that’s a potential problem but I guess I don’t see that as much different of a problem than if a bunch of people collaborated on a project in person (w/o signing any contracts or agreements) and then started arguing over who owned what.
Maybe the person that initially starts the project setups up the rights structure (creative commons, exclusive ownership, etc.,) and then everyone who comes on board has to acknowledged and agree to the rights before they are allowed access to the project?

Have you read Vimeo and YouTube license agreements. Certainly plenty of business have their video sitting on their servers. Of course that’s not a direct parallel because most using the above sites want their video spread. They also have privacy features . . . but that doesn’t changes the license agreements.

I have read the Vimeo terms of service and they are nothing like the WeVideo terms Shane posted. Vimeo basically retains the right to stream your content via their site, their app and via embeds on other sites using Vimeo’s player or API (depending on your privacy settings and if you granted use via Creative Commons). Once you delete the video from your Vimeo account Vimeo loses these rights.
WeVideo, on the other hand, seemingly owns a copy of your work forever and can do anything they want with it.

[Walter Soyka] “I think Avid showed a browser-based cloud editing solution at NAB in 2010, though.”
Yeah, I saw it demoed at the 2010 SMPTE tech conference. It was pretty cool.
