Site Terms

Overview

As a project of Johnny Pixel Productions (JPPI), the standard Terms of Use published on the JPPI corporate site apply to your use of the Video Liberty project. By continuing to use this site you indicate that you have read, understood, and agreed to those policies, as well as the Site-specific terms shown below.

Site-Specific Terms

Content Posted by User(s)
If you upload, submit, disclose, distribute or otherwise post (together herein referred to as actions to Share) Content (User Content) on the Video Liberty site, you grant to JPPI (as defined in the standard Terms of Use linked above) a universal, non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use, reproduce, display, perform, adapt, modify, distribute, make derivative works of and otherwise utilize such User Content in any form for purposes necessary or otherwise relevant for providing the intended functions and features of the Video Liberty site, including without limitation any concepts, ideas or know-how embodied therein. Furthermore, if you Share User Content, you grant to JPPI a universal, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable right to store the User Content that you Share in any storage medium in any location; this allows JPPI to retain your User Content in backup files indefinitely even after you delete your User Content, but it does not allow JPPI to display or otherwise use such content after such deletion.
Copyright Representation
By listing a video in the Liberated Videos database, you represent that you are the copyright owner or partial owner of the video and that you have the unencumbered legal right to release the video under the license you specify in the database listing. Misrepresenting yourself and/or a video in the Liberated Video database may lead to legal action against you by the true owner(s) of the video and/or by Johnny Pixel Productions, Inc.
No Verification
Copyright ownership of videos listed in the Liberated Videos database will not be verified before the video listing is made public. Before using a Liberated Video in a project of your own that will be made available to the public, you are urged to verify the licensing and ownership. If you are the owner of a video that appears in the Liberated Videos database that should not appear there (i.e., if it was added by somebody not authorized to represent it in such a manner), you are urged to promptly follow the DMCA take-down process using information found via the Web Site Policies link shown above.
Acceptable Licenses
To be eligible for listing in the Video Liberty project Liberated Videos database, a video must be released under a license that allows, at a minimum:
  • The video may be copied without modifications at no cost to the entity doing the copying or receiving the copies
  • The video may be altered by any entity for that entity's private (non-public) use
Additional specifications of the license may optionally include:
  • Requirement for attribution of the original artist for unmodified copies
  • Prohibition against attribution of the original artist for modified versions
  • Prohibition against, or permission for, distribution of modified versions
  • Prohibition against, or permission for, commercial use
  • Requirement for modified versions to be released under the same license as the original
Example licenses include all of the Creative Commons licenses, the GNU Free Documentation License, and the Free Art License.
Intended Use
It should be clear how features of the Video Liberty project site should be used. For example, the Liberated Videos database is intended to list videos published under an open license. You are specifically prohibited from using features in ways for which they are clearly not intended. Intentional misuse of features, such as adding data to the Liberated Videos database that does not describe a video, will be considered abuse (a.k.a., "spam"). Abuse may result in legal action. If you are unclear about a feature, please request clarification or other assistance before using it.
