Creative Commons & Magnify.net -
Early on we determined that we wanted to give creators a wide range of choices in how they share their videos on Magnify.net . We've talked in this space about our partnership with Revver for creators who want to make and monetize videos using the Revver system. But what we haven't talked about is the changing face of copyright, and the important work that the folks at Creative Commons are doing to provide new flexible and user-controllable terms for sharing terms and conditions.
If you've uploaded a video on the Magnify.net uploader - then you've seen this screen:
Chances are, you've noticed the CC - and maybe even know what it means. But for most casual users of the Uploader, the deftault share and share alike license is just fine.
But if you haven't dug deeper - you should. Magnify.net provides a whole array of license options (courtesy of the folks at Creative Commons) that allows you to define with great specificity the rights you are willing to share, and the rights you want to retain.
If you haven't explored what is going on at Creative Commons, its worth your exploration. Also, take a look at the Lessig Blog for exploration of this space.
To see the more detailed options that we provide for folks that want to customize their CC license, here's the pulldown menu that provides those options.
