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] 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.
