Unfriendly Clause About Changes to the Work

By uploading content such as photograph image files, Photographer Member agrees to give BigStockPhoto and all users irrevocable nonexclusive royalty-free rights to use the content for any purpose including publication, display, modification, and creation of derivative works. BigStockPhoto has the right to license any content up until the time Member removes the file from the Website. Once submitted to the Photo Approval Queue, Member may not remove photos from site until after they have been posted for 90 days, regardless of whether the Member chooses to terminate their account. Once content is uploaded to the Photo Approval Queue, Member must allow BigStockPhoto the opportunity to license uses for at least 90 days.

This agency, BigStockPhoto, allows members to upload their photographs on the web. Members must give BigStockPhoto the right to use the image for any purpose; BigStock does not pay the member. The author may remove her photo from the site, but not before 90 days. As long as the picture is posted on the website, BigStockPhoto can create new works using the member's photo.

Except as otherwise provided by the Brightcove Privacy Policy, with respect to any Content posted by you on, to, or through Brightcove or the Services, you grant Brightcove a world-wide, royalty free, perpetual, license to use, copy, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, create compilations including, create derivative works of, and distribute such Content to publish and promote such Content in connection with the particular Services and to publish and promote such Content elsewhere within Brightcove and the Services. Such license shall apply with respect to any form, media, or technology now known or later developed.

Brightcove is an internet site that allows users to launch their own television channel. In return, Brightcove gets the perpetual non exclusive right to make any kind of use of the material the user posts. Britecove can edit the material, post it on its site or its affiliated sites, transmit it, and adapt it to new media, all without paying the user.

[Party 1] does not claim any ownership rights in any articles, information, materials, data, files, programs, photographs, concepts, communications, footage, ideas, opinions, and other materials ("Member Content") you post, store, or exchange through the [party 1] Site or Software; you continue to retain all ownership rights in such Member Content. Member Content is the sole responsibility of the person from which such Member Content originated. This means that you, and not [party 1], are entirely responsible for all Member Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available through the Site or Software, or on the Network or Web. To the extent that [party 1] provides you with an opportunity to post, store and exchange Member Content, you agree to and hereby do grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, [party 1], its contractors, and the users of the [party 1] Site an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully sublicensable, fully paid up, worldwide license to use, copy, publicly perform, digitally perform, publicly display, and distribute such content and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such Member Content on the [party 1] Site or Software. This license does not grant [party 1] the right to sell Member Content or otherwise distribute it outside of [party 1's] Site and Software.

['party 1'] is a website that enables musicians, photographers, and creators of video to promote their works on the internet. This license allows the non paid use of any materials the user uploads, forever and for the whole world. The contract also allows [party 1] and its users to alter or modify the posted work, and to incorporate it into other works. The license does not premit [party 1] to sell the works or distribute the material outside of its website, but it appears that members who use the site can download and exploit the material. It appears that the grant of rights persists even after the material is no longer on the website.

"SOCIETY'S" Copyright Transfer COPYRIGHT TRANSFER

The undersigned, with the consent of all authors, hereby transfers, to the extent that there is copyright to be transferred, the exclusive copyright interest in the above cited manuscript, including the published version in any format (subsequently called the "work"), to the Society subject to the following (If the manuscript is not accepted by the Society or withdrawn prior to acceptance by the Society, this transfer will be null and void.): A. The undersigned author and all coauthors retain the right to revise, adapt, prepare derivative works, present orally, or distribute or transmit to not more than 50 colleagues, their own paper, provided that copyright credit is given to the source and the Society, that recipients are informed that they may not further disseminate or copy the paper, and that all such use is for the personal noncommercial benefit of the author(s) and is consistent with any prior contractual agreement between the undersigned and/or coauthors and their employer(s). Authors/employers may post the title of the paper, abstract (no other text), tables, and figures of their own papers on their own Web sites, and include these items in their own scholarly, research papers. B. Where a work is prepared as a "work made for hire" for an employer, the employer(s) of the author(s) retain(s) the right to revise, adapt, prepare derivative works, publish, reprint, reproduce, and distribute the work in print format, and to transmit it on an internal, secure network for use by its employees only, and additional rights under A, provided that all such use is for the promotion of its business enterprise and does not imply endorsement by the Society. C. Whenever the Society is approached by third parties for individual permission to use, reprint, or republish specified articles (except for classroom use, library reserve, or to reprint in a collective work) the undersigned author's or employer's permission will also be required. D. No proprietary right other than copyright is claimed by the Society.

This clause, from an academic society's journal, requires the author to assign the journal her copyright in the work. While the author retains the right to create derivative works and present the paper to a limited number of colleagues, she may not make any profits from the work. The society may not, however, reprint the work without the author's permission.

1. Single Issue License. The photographs, digital images, or other recordings to be made of Artist (or Artist and any third parties) (the Photographs) are to be published once on the inside of the _ [date] issue of __ (the Publication).

2. Artist Approvals. All Photographs which Photographer intends to use first must be submitted to Artist for approval. The print, negative, or other material embodying disapproved Photographs will be promptly destroyed by the Photographer. This license will automatically expire without further notice if the article containing the approved Photographs is not published by the issue date above.

3. Alterations. At no time may Artist photographic image be altered by Publication. Any proposed post-production work to occur on any and all photographic images of Artist must be set forth in writing by Publication prior thereto and pre approved by Artist. Artist must have approval on any and all photographs that have been altered in any way, even if agreed to prior to photo session, before photos may be used in publication, and reserve the right to ask for approval of prints anytime thereafter before permission is given to use photos again.

4. Additional Licenses. Photographer will not make any further license or use of the Photographs for any retrospective or additional use by the Publication, advertising, promotional, publicity, commercial tie-in, merchandising, or other use and may not assign, auction, transfer, give away or otherwise dispose of the Photographs without first obtaining the written consent of Artist (or Artist's representatives) in each instance. [Artist pre-approves the reproduction or display of a cover of the Publication bearing an Artist approved Photo in connection with the normal and customary consumer subscription marketing activities of the Publication (e.g., pre-addressed postage paid subscription order cards inserted in copies of the Publication), provided such use does not occur more than 12 months from the initial publication date of the Publication bearing the Photographs.]

This is a contract between a photographer and a major recording artist. The photographer was hired to take photographs of the artist for a specific publication.

1. This allows the artist to destroy any images that he wishes to destroy. Additionally, the last sentence means that the photographer loses all rights to the pictures if the story is not published by a set date.

2. The photographer may not alter the pictures without artist approval. The last sentence means that at any given time and before any future use of the pictures, the artist gets approval rights again.

3. The photographer may not use the photographs for other purposes or dispose of the photographs without first having the artist's written consent.
