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

let's see if @rodeodotclub comments on this

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,… https://t.co/dWaiG9akYH

@amadon This is industry standard. Open to new standards if they're widely adopted, but I'm personally not going to spend legal cycles reinventing the wheel. We're focused on building.

sorry but that's a BS response. "I'm not going to spend legal cycles reinventing the wheel"?? 

What are you building that's more important than legal certainty for the artists that upload to your platform and make your platform money??

"This is how everyone does it" does not have a place in web3 or on blockchain. Do better

i agree that it would be even more impressive and impactful if they led the way for a new legal norm for social media models
