Enlighten Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Hi, This competition looked good until I read the rules, a few things worry me! 3. All material submitted will become the sole property of Avatech Solutions Subsidiary, Inc. and will not be returned. 11. By entering the Contest, entrants give Avatech the right to publish, license, copy, modify, use, or distribute the submission, in whole or in part, for any purpose, or to authorize others to do the same, without notice or compensation to the entrant. If a submission contains an image of a person or any other identifying material, the submission must be accompanied by a release by that party, allowing Avatech to publish, license, copy, modify, use, or distribute the submission, in whole or in part, for any purpose, or to authorize others to do the same, without notice or compensation, which release must be satisfactory to Avatech, in the exercise of its sole discretion. 11.

I suppose if you are happy to hand over your images to someone to market as they wish, the competition is good, I on the other hand are not happy with this arrangement. Sorry I dont mean to knock the competition, I just think it is good to read the rules first!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Burden III Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 11. By entering the Contest, entrants give Avatech the right to publish, license, copy, modify, use, or distribute the submission, in whole or in part, for any purpose...And so it is with almost ALL competitions. Sad, I might like to enter one or two. But I'm not giving up rights to anything. You will also see that most 'giveaways' hosted by corporate America contain various releases. If nothing else, they require you give a valid address, etc. If they can collect a few million viable contacts that data is worth a lot of money just by itself. Why hand over your personal info for a lowlevel chance at some prize? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enlighten Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I am glad you agree Ernest and Vizwiz, I thought I might just be paranoid, but like you Ernest I would never give up the rights to any of my work!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
