Amadon on Warpcast

This isn’t my first Rodeo. This licensing clause is shit for artists and rehashing much of the worst of web2. To make this less opaque - once you upload, Rodeo can use, reproduce, and distribute your work in any way they see fit, for as long as they want, anywhere in the world, and without paying you a dime. That’s a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to do whatever they want. It also doubles down on the same centralized structures we need to escape. They can host, index, and profit from your work in massive, locked-down databases, effectively recreating the same walled gardens that gave creators so little say in how their art was circulated or monetized. Slapping a “Web3” label on top doesn’t fix that problem.

They can also mint NFTs and cook up derivative works without involving you in the process or sharing any revenue. That’s basically a blueprint for repeating all the worst exploitation we saw in the old IP landscape. If the policy reads like it’s paving the way for a cash grab, it’s probably because it is. The sweeping rights they’ve granted themselves practically erase your ownership. If Rodeo’s platform terms sound way too much like Web2’s exploitative playbook, chances are they’re not looking out for you, so keep your eyes open.

I actually read through this recently and found it acceptable. Basically they are allowed to a) distribute your work for others to mint when you post it. b) use your images in their advertising for Rodeo. Am I missing something? It's an upgrade, but it's still a business. We need a onchain creator tool review organization to parse all the available options and routes.

Most of this is standard in the ToS of any platform that lets users upload and share content publicly. Here is something similar in the OpenSea ToS and even the Warpcast ToS. I'm sure you will find it in the X ToS, Facebook ToS, and any other social network or art sharing platform ToS you look at. Sounds "scary" but if you didn't grant the platforms the right to display your content publicly in whatever format they need to then it wouldn't be a social media site. It would be a private data storage service that you choose who you want to share things with explicitly.
