I could not find a contract, but you could try to agree on placing the material under a creative commons licence that you think is most appropriate. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/ At least then the works will be available under a fairly well understood legal framework, even if there are multiple authors ( copyright-holders for slides , video photography, talk etc ) they can still be made available under a homogenous licencing scheme, without you having to transfer ownership to anyone else. /f On Wed, Sep 23, 2020 at 1:54 AM Neil Sloane <njasloane@gmail.com> wrote:
Was asked to give a Zoom talk on Oct 2 at conference honoring an old friend. Nothing was said about recording it. So (quoting Dorothy Sayers) I pushed a tentative pawn forward, and asked if there were plans to record the talks and publish them (and were they going to ask my permission first?) , because the answer would determine what I would include in the talk.
A couple of days later they send me an optional consent form to sign, perhaps written in a hurry, asking me to give them permission to record the talk, to publish it, and to give them ownership of everything I talked about. Including ownership of copies of all my slides. (An arm and a leg, in short.) I said No.
So my question is, has anyone seen a reasonable consent form that one might be willing to sign when one gives a zoom talk somewhere, that does not not give up all rights?
It might say, OK, you can record my talk and put it on your web site, but I retain all rights to the material, the slides, the images, the music, the content, the ideas, the algorithms, the computer code, etc.
Zoom has been around long enough now that someone must have solved this problem.
