Alyssa | Biz & Creator Lawyer

@lauracarrillov Woot woot!!! Rooting for you on your UGC journey!

Made my first 2 investments today from my first UGC deal… hollyland mic and @legaldoer UGC contract bundle 🙌🏼 #ugc #ugccommunity #UGCcreator

@ugcbykeeley Thanks, Keeley! I remember when you first grabbed the contract and made those amazing IG story testimonials about it. I'm sooo happy to hear that you've found them so helpful and I truly appreciate your shout-outs and support. You're the best! And I 1000% agree with you!

I totally EFFED up when I started UGC I had no protective contract I basically wrote something up that I thought sounded good... and the brands that sent me contract I didn’t really know what was going on in them It wasn’t until I got @legaldoer contract that I felt confident and protected Moral of the story: Use a contract drafted by a lawyer when where you can and don't be afraid to ask brands to include new clauses in the ones they send you

The authors didn’t claim the training produced infringing knockoffs or replicas of their work and if the books used to train the AI were pirated copies… that’s a different story. 👉 Training ≠ infringement Do you agree? 🤔

🚨 US federal judge issued a landmark ruling that copyrighted books are fair use for AI training.🚨 In his ruling, Judge Alsup said the company’s use of the authors’ books was “exceedingly transformative” and allowed under copyright law. (Continued...)⤵️

That means your brand deal content could now be: -In breach of exclusivity -Violating usage rights -Blocking full ownership transfer Even worse? You may now be violating your warranties by unknowingly giving CapCut rights to content the brand thinks it owns.⚠️

🚨CapCut just updated their terms to make one thing super clear: Their broad license now applies to any content you upload, store, or use in the app...even if it’s just a private draft you edited or a video you exported. That’s the real issue, especially for creators. ⤵️

@ugcwithbrii oof...that's the worst!!!! I'm so sorry you're going through this. it's not uncommonly, and unfortunately you gotta keep reporting it and maybe send a cease and desist to the actual brands too.

@legaldoer Thank you for replying! Theyre stealing from TikTok and reposting. I’ve been submitting intellectual property infringement reports and have gotten a chunk of them taken down but I get sent new ones almost everyday 🤣 I’m tired lol

My content is getting stolen SO much lately and I really hate it. Cause it’s being stolen from different brands then from where the product is actually from… AND one even used AI to change what I was actually saying UGH 😫🥲 it’s getting OUT of control What can even be done?

@HillerShylynne @capcutapp I ran out of room earlier, but this is important: ➡️Most of these terms were already in there. The KEY update is that their broad license now clearly applies to private drafts too. If you upload to their app, the license applies. That's the biggest issue for me.

@HillerShylynne @capcutapp CapCut used to be my go-to tool. I've deleted it. I can't in good conscience use a tool that requires all of the above. Giving away those rights and unknowingly taking on high liability, for a free app, is a hard no for me. This also has SERIOUS implications for brand deals & AI

@legaldoer can we get your opinion on these CapCut terms?? What are we switching to? This is extremely disheartening. @capcutapp DO BETTER.

@LoveRyangirl @ugcwithbrii Thanks for the tag! 🫶

@ugcwithbrii @legaldoer 👀?? 🫶

@HillerShylynne @capcutapp Sorry I'm just seeing this...but yes, these updates are extreme. I've personally deleted the app. I'll follow up with a breakdown.

@MelissaSaysThis @Juliedoesugc @UGCpro_ Thanks for the mention!
