Oh well that's a shame. I don't write the rules, I am just trying to populate the site. I will pass your objections on to the powers that be.

*sigh*

....but having said that, YouTube's wording might be a bit different, but the terms of use say almost exactly the same thing.

Not quite - I can revoke their license by deleting the video. Your conditions say 'permanent'.

Other than that, yes, they're just as unreasonable - but that single difference means that I can do something about it if they actually do exploit their unreasonable 'rights'.

The odds are no website is going to make unreasonable use of my content, I'm not that interesting :) but handing over all control of it is just a silly thing to do.

Actually, re-reading, they also only include 'other media' for purposes of advertising and promotion - they're don't seem to have allowed themselves to (for instance) make a TV show of their favourite user-submitted clips.

They don't seem to have edit/modify rights either, although they do have derivative works.

That would be good - thank you.

In case it wasn't clear, I was using 'you' to refer to the company you work for... I didn't think it was your personal doing :)

I've uploaded one Airkix clip as I'd already asked their permission and they said it was okay by them, but I'm not inclined to upload any fire performances by myself and my friends, or anything else really, unless the conditions become considerably less grasping.

I have passed on all your comments and await the "official response"....
