The audio and video small print
Here's the guide to what you can and can't do with our audio and video (multimedia) content.
Sharing is good
Here at TheSite.org we believe that sharing content is good - after all we want as many people to hear our podcasts and watch our videos as possible. It's for this reason that we distribute our multimedia content as widely as we can (check out our first torrent for an early example).
However, we still have certain restrictions on what can be done with our multimedia content. Much of it features advice that can't be taken out of context, and includes participation from members of the public who've agreed to take part but wouldn't particularly appreciate finding out their voices have been used on an underground ska mix!
Because of this, we've picked a Creative Commons licence that we believe gives everyone permission to share what we've done, whilst protecting the information we provide, and the people involved.
Please bear in mind this applies only to the audio and video content created by TheSite.org. Some video content on the site isn't made by us and these videos clearly state that a different legal policy applies. Our current terms and conditions still apply to all other content
The licence
We've selected the rather long-winded sounding Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 Unreported license (try saying that three times quickly!). What this means is that:
Sharing: You are free to copy, distribute and transmit the work;
Attribution: You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author - which for us means not altering anything in the title of the multimedia content or anything in the metadata. Essentially, the audio files still need to say they were made by us;
Non-commercial: You can't use the work commercially. We don't charge for it, so you damn well shouldn't. Anyone who does want to use our content in a commercial setting should contact us first to discuss syndication costs and rights;
No derivative works: You can't alter, transform, or build upon this work. However, if you wanted to use the work as part of something else you can chat to us about it. Again, just contact us to discuss it first.
The really small print
And finally, the detailed legal bits:
Redistribution: You should, if redistributing the content, make the licence terms clear. The best way to do this is with a link to the following page - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ ;
Waiver: Any of these conditions can be waived if you get permission from TheSite.org Towers;
Moral rights: Nothing in this licence impairs or restricts the author's moral rights.
And once again, for good luck, this license applies only to the audio and video content made by TheSite.org which is featured in our Audio & Video section. All other content continues to be covered by our current terms and conditions.
The full Legal Code licence is also available to read. This description is based on the human-readable summary.
