    Is It Legal To Have Surfers Submit Pics to you, Slap Your Logo and make money with i?

    Thinking about starting a humor site, I notice the humor sites have different rules.

    If I set up a submit script do I have to follow ? laws or can I just slap a logo on the pics my surfers send and make money off the traffic?

    With all this VISA shit, im going to just get into FREE SITES, HUMOR sites, so I dont have to be bothered with legalities.

      I think it works that if you allow surfer submissions, and you get them to agree to your terms which state that they are the legal copyright holder etc... You should be fine.

        Terms? Legal? Blah

        Sites like Rotten.com and many others do not own the content they post.

        Especially in the 'Fuck Of The Month' club, thats porn, someone elses content, sent in.

        I can't wait to launch my site, Ive been saving pics for awhile.

            dont do it...

            1) i know someone that was taken to court and ended up settling, same exact thing, allowed other people to post photos to his site...they BOTH post here.
            2) how are you going to verify age? with the gov. hiring 25 agents to montior 2257 and other laws you have to cover your ass.

            thats my

              Amazing people still have no concept of Copyright law.

              First it is not "Illegal", that would be criminal.... your plan however could get you involved in some civil lawsuits.

              There is no way to protect yourself 100%, unless you could check every photo submited was by the person who owned the rights.

              Of course this "business model" is still rampant on the net, and has made some people very successful... ask Consumption Junction how profitable it is to make money from other people's Copyrighted work!

              Ask JMM, he is an EXPERT on Copyright issues!

              I recently won a settlement with someone who freqeunts THIS board on the same issue.... I settled because the kid did not have 2 pennied to rub together, but he learned an expensive ( for him at least) lesson, and will be sending me checks for a few months.


              Make big money on your Domains! Why wait 40 days to get paid with the other guys? Parked.com pays the most for your traffic, and cuts checks twice a month!

                Aren't rotten non-US based though? Even in the UK the laws governing the use of submitted images aren't as strict as those in the US.

                  the humor sites like CJ and Stile will take anything. Hell somebody submitted a photo of Cheshire someone on GFY created and they slapped the CJ logo on it and published it.
                  I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                        No. Fair use prohibits commercial use UNLESS you can make a strong argument that the material was altered in such a way as to be a PARODY.

                            Nope..it is not kosher.

                            There are many violations in doing this. The two biggest are copyright infringement, and misappropriation.

                            1. The copyright holder can sue you for violating his copyrights. That is a civil matter. If the infringement can be proven to be willful, the penalties increase substantially, and it could also be criminal.

                            2. Each model could sue you individually for misappropriation of likeness. They could also sue you for defamation if you defame them, which most humor sites do. Most releases allow for editorial text and comments of any kind. However, that right only extends to the copyright holder or their licensee.


                            This is my opinion. I am not a lawyer. However, if you use my content you will get to meet mine.

                                Doesn't matter, as long as there is some sort of commercial gain for you (ads or spots, etc) then its "commercial."

                                Another exemption under "fair use" is to feature the content using a "review" ie., users review and make commentary. You need to edit the content a bit

                                  Absolutely false.

                                  Copyright law is international, by treaty.

                                  The U.K. is a signatory to the treaty.

                                  Copyright law is EXACTLY the same in the U.K. as it is in the U.S.

                                    I forgot, I have videos too.

                                    Like surfer submitted funny clips.

                                    I got plenty of bandwidth, have it on dedicated, wont be much to host a couple gigs of humor mpegs.

                                    Ill do reviews of the pics and videos. I make plenty of comments about it on my site. Little jokes and stuff.

                                      then you need to get a big bright url decal for your car and cruise sunset on the weekends

                                      for anyone not in los angeles: there is a huge neon yahoo billboard over sunset blvd in hollywood.

                                        For a review site to be valid, you have to credit the author. "Author unknown" several hundred times a week wont fly. Remember, the ultimate decision will be in the hands of a judge. Federal judges aren't stupid, they can read between the lines.

                                                If you profit from it in any way, it's still illegal. A dead bird is a dead bird, and unless you or the submitter have legal license to the content, or actual copyright, you can and probably will get sued.

                                                You're in Canada, right Fletch? I can refer you to some good lawyers who can advise you.. DO NOT start this site without at least seeking legal advice first. You're a nice guy I don't wanna see you in jail or beggared over copyright suits and convictions.. it's a federal offense.

                                                  I had a humor site back in the day. Got around 2,000 uniques a day. Not bad for a humor site that was springing popups on every page....lol. It was pretty much all bookmarks. Maybe some links here and there from other people, but not many. Out of all those visitors, I think I got 2 submissions EVER! That was for a period of about 2 years too. Most just want to go to your site and laugh. Trust me, they won't submit as often as you think. I knew some of the other big sites and we used to share content. I'd take some of his pictures, they'd take some of mine. Most of the funny pics, people make for the web. It's sort of like notoriety to see their pics up everywhere. Never once had a problem and I had gigs of stuff on my site. You'll be fine.

                                                      Like surfer submitted funny clips.

                                                      I got plenty of bandwidth, have it on dedicated, wont be much to host a couple gigs of humor mpegs.

                                                      Ill do reviews of the pics and videos. I make plenty of comments about it on my site. Little jokes and stuff.

                                                      I should also mention that you are also going to be subject to the laws about copyright etc whereever you are hosting the site.. The DMCA is NOT just applicable for porn, even though that's the use we all make of it. It applies to ALL copyrighted material... and unless the material is a) produced by the government or b) the artist has abandoned the copyright , it's subject to copyright laws... Don't forget also Moral rights laws come into effect when you don't have license/copyright to the material.. Moral rights laws can carry even steeper fines/sentances than actual copyright violations, because it's much easier to prove damages.

                                                            Lawsuits aren't what cost the most with humor sites, it's bandwidth. A friend of mine runs a humor site and it burns about 2mb/sec for every 100,000 unique visitors it gets.

                                                            I seem to remember Marc Womack (founder of consumption junction) saying that CJ does over 200 mb/sec and they have 25 load balanced servers to handle it.

                                                            There is a reason sites like stileproject eventually whored themselves out with all the ads, it just gets really expensive burning all the bandwidth.
                                                            Surrender all your independent thinking and Click Here for re-programming.

                                                                            If I set up a submit script do I have to follow laws or can I just slap a logo on the pics my surfers send and make money off the traffic?

                                                                            With all this VISA shit, im going to just get into FREE SITES, HUMOR sites, so I dont have to be bothered with legalities.

                                                                            ;)

                                                                            I would worry about being sued though.

                                                                                      That's clearly how folks stay afloat now.
                                                                                      You would get a C&D from me the first time my content was stolen, you may even get by with sendin me traffic the second time my content was stolen, but the third time - there would be no C&D. You would be served with a federal lawsuit... I would go after you for malicious use ( because my team would document every violation and preserve the evidence), and get 150k per violation.

                                                                                      My team would document any other violations with other content providers and contact them as well. If the person violating my Copyrights had deep pockets or wanted to fight, I would then have them go after the violaters based on RICO laws . ( Ask the people who had celeb sites about Civil RICO.... that is why most havee been shut down)
