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.

My bad for promoting Rodeo. Sorry about that. I need a long break from FC.

And a break from web3 generally. It just causes anxiety more often than not. And I've stopped creating for myself. Everything is a hustle and always will be. If that's too "negative," then so be it.

I am so glad you shared this cast! 

I don’t believe you need to apologize for anything here. 🫂

you learned something and you said something. 

you presented the opportunity for others to make their own informed decisions. 

we don’t have time to examine every nuance within our field, that’s why commUNITY is so important. 

because no, I don’t understand every legal document in my world (which is intentionally designed that way) and you called attention to someone who IS able to have the space and time to explore these topics for us. 

@amadon.eth  broke it down, (thank you!) and explained it in easily understandable terms. 

this situation *is* a predatory practice, and more people are becoming aware of this. (I suspect many many ToS’s are like this) 

we will continue to bury ourselves until we stop participating in our own unconscious funerals. 

and we need people like you, who are willing to see something, and say something. thank you, trish 😘🫶
