hi, i work with licensing contracts on a daily basis. i *DO NOT* have a legal background in Intellectual Property, but my boss does and after working with her for 3yrs here's my two cents: 1) things that are normal in this clause imo: having the rights to use artists' images for use on social media, in press, exhibitions, on printed materials (magazines, exhibition flyers, etc)--anything that promotes Rodeo and consequently the artist's work (whom, the clause should mention but does not, is ALWAYS credited at a bare minimum. I'm sure Rodeo would credit the artists, though under this clause they are not legally obliged to). ⚠️ things that concern me in thread

2) things that should be changed/specified imo: the fact that the rights are transferrable concerns me. this means Foundation/Rodeo can provide the rights to your work to someone else, without your permission. in addition the works are sublicensable, which isn't unusual actually, even though I don't like sublicensing, but should be specified in which contexts they would need a sublicense. under the clause as it is now, Rodeo can earn money for a service or product where the artist's work is included and are not obliged to pay them, eg: if they launch a streaming subscription service to exhibit works on TVs. These are instances where ethically I believe artists MUST be paid a royalties at a minimum. however under this clause, they could technically launch said subscription service, and artists would get nothing.

Very helpful outline. In fact thinking it's a good thing you are not a legal person because it would likely be unintelligible. 😆 300 $degen for not being a law expert.
