[games_access] RobertFlorio entering Steven Spielberg's contest?

Sun Feb 4 16:17:22 EST 2007

Hi Robert,

I read the website for On The Lot reality competition and I downloaded
the application form where I learned that anything you submit, they
own and they can do whatever they want to it, even distribute it, edit
it or make imitation works. I do NOT recommend sending them your
documentary. If you do you, it can hurt your chances of getting it
published by a real film company.

Here's the actual wording from the application form that says what I
wrote above, but in long run on sentences:

3. I hereby grant to Producer, their assigns and affiliates the
perpetual, irrevocable
right and license to distribute, broadcast, and otherwise exploit the
submitted material, gratis, throughout the universe, in any and all
manners, formats and media, whether now known or hereafter devised, in
connection with The Series Website, the
Series or otherwise, including, but not limited to, the non-exclusive,
fully paid, universal license to use, copy, digitize, sublicense,
transmit, distribute, publicly perform, publish, delete or display
such submitted material, or any portion thereof, in any media now
known or hereafter devised including, but not limited to The Series
Website, or the Series.
I authorize you, and any entities affiliated or in privity with you,
to utilize on a non-exclusive basis, for eternity and in any manner
you see fit, the submitted material to you, and to make derivative
works from such materials. I agree that such use shall be freely
assignable by you, and that you and your assignees and licensees shall
have no obligations
whatsoever to me. I hereby grant you permission to and you shall have
the right and sole
discretion to edit, alter, modify or change any part of the submitted
material for any reason in connection with your (or your assignee's or
licensee's) use thereof.

-Reid
