Hello All,
I got a comment on one of my YouTube videos (linked below) from someone from The Weather Channel. They wanted to use my video one their website, social media apps, etc. I emailed the guy, said no problem and then I got the release form with the wording below.
I was fine with it until the second paragraph which says they can give permission to authorize others to use..
What would you do? I'm just a hobbyist doing this for fun, not part of my job.
