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.
