VIDEO: The Business and Law of Emerging Revenue Streams in UGC #LegalHackers #ugc

On May 30 2013 the NYC Legal Hackers presented The Business and Law of Emerging Revenue Streams in UGC at Projective Space NYC. The event looked at the law and business of monetizing user generated content (UGC). With huge amounts of content uploaded daily, both companies and users are looking for innovative revenue streams that capitalize on the massive audience and frictionless distribution of UGC. A panel of lawyers, content managers, and an author talked about the unique opportunities and unexpected legal hurdles associated with this new and growing marketplace. The event concluded with a presentation from Legal Hackers founder Phil Weiss of an idea for an interactive terms of service (ToS) framework that might benefit hosts and users alike. Video is below.

Video: Why Viacom v. YouTube Matters (Besides the $1 Billion)

The Copyright Society of the U.S.A. New York Chapter Panel: Why Viacom v. YouTube Matters (Besides the $1 Billion) at the Princeton Club NYC on Nov 18 2010. While YouTube won a summary judgement in this case, it is under appeal. The panel was tasked, rather than making appellate cases, with discussing the implications of the decision. Nevertheless much of the meat of the arguments was chewed at this lunchtime event.

Panel: Cliff Sloan (Partner, Skadden Arps), Daniel Blackman (Co-founder, Howcast, and formerly of Google), Michael Kwun (Of Counsel, Keker & Van Nest), Thomas Sydnor (Director of the Center for the Study of Digital Property at The Progress & Freedom Foundation), Moderated by Professor James Grimmelmann (New York Law School)
