The Business and Law of Emerging Revenue Streams in UGC

IMG_0270

On May 30, 2013, the New York Legal Hackers went back to their old court at Projective Space to take a look at the law and business of monetizing user generated content (UGC).

Recent developments in the image-sharing space have gotten people thinking: how can social platforms start to leverage UGC in new and innovative ways to make money?  From YouTube’s ContentID system to Instagram’s (recanted) attempt at selling user photos directly to brands and marketers, the possibilities are endless.  Our five-person panel covered the numerous risks, moral faux pas, and successes that have arisen in these uncharted waters.

Our Twitter activity highlights some of the main discussion points.

Not to mention this oddly prescient post that came out the night after!

And we also added a new hack on our up-and-coming project wiki!

A huge thanks to our panelists for this event. Be sure to check out the video!
