FB takes your copyright.<br /><br />my guess is, disney and others, probably signed a contract with FB changing those terms so that they could have a fan page with official art, etc. like the art for pixar's newt.<br /><br />artists should protect their work, absolutely. but getting your work on the net is tricky stuff. do some research, check out copyleft/creativecommons and for pity's sake, stay away from contests like this. (unless you're a creative genius and can just throw out stuff for a contest, get noticed, and sell more work…then have at it.)Sean Wicketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10841063207773615366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-72021143488143572842011-02-16T07:50:36.063-05:002011-02-16T07:50:36.063-05:00Very well said Mark!

And I don't hear anyone complaining about those!<br /><br />In the grand scheme of things, it's a bunch of legalise that covers TeleToon from being taken to court on account of 'broadcasting' content on the internet without compensation, basically, it allows them to stream your video on their website for free.<br /><br />You still retain your copyright, which is what really matters, because there are plenty of contests out there that will strip you of that.Charles Kennyhttp://animationanomaly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-27427638510454631852011-02-14T11:34:11.556-05:002011-02-14T11:34:11.556-05:00i don't see what the big deal is. they tell yo...i don't see what the big deal is. they tell you this before you submit anything, it's not as if they're springing this on you after you've already submitted an entry into the contest. if you don't like the rules, you don't have to play. besides, if you really do have a million-dollar idea, you probably aren't going to submit it to an online contest anyway.BardBabynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-54472241770968915662011-02-14T08:24:07.063-05:002011-02-14T08:24:07.063-05:00We should challenge Teletoon to explain themselves...We should challenge Teletoon to explain themselves either come clean "Yes, you caught us, we will rewrite our contract to keep it fair to the artists" or "No, you are paranoid, and here's why your intellectual property will still be yours etc..." <br />We should not let them off the hook.<br />Twitter, Facebook, e-mail campaign to your elected officials and get them to address this.JPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948005987931788144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-5305073909697439262011-02-14T00:04:55.826-05:002011-02-14T00:04:55.826-05:00How is that even ALLOWED?
