Navigating Copyright and Ownership: The Risks and Alternatives for Brands Uploading Videos on Social Media Platforms
Social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram have become essential tools for brands to reach and engage with their target audience. However, when uploading and sharing video content on these platforms, brands must be aware of the potential risks to their ownership and copyright.
When brands upload their video content to social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram, they expose themselves to risks that can potentially harm their brand identity, message, and control over their intellectual property (IP). By agreeing to the platforms’ terms of service, brands grant extensive rights to these companies, allowing them to use, modify, and distribute the uploaded content in ways that may not align with the brands’ objectives or values.
