How will payments work?
You will be paid whenever Envato receives payment by a third party for the permitted use of your Market and/or Elements items as part of a third party arrangement.
You will see this additional usage reflected in your Earnings Statement.
Without having full details of future arrangements, we cannot provide you with details of the fee payable to you, the Author - It is this statement here that is just absurd!
Examples might include:
- Distributing your items on content platforms across the globe (CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW THIS WORKS?)
- Developing generative AI models that use your content for learning (CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE END GOAL OF THIS AI LEARNING EXPERIMENT?)
- Developing a ‘test/build’ environment with a third party to build new product offerings, features or services. (AGAIN, PLEASE EXPLAIN WHO THIS 3rd PARTY IS? WHAT KINDS OF “NEW PRODUCTS” ARE YOU BUILDING?)
So Much is so vague and not clear in this “new PERPETUAL contract” So I encourage all to not listen to the volunteer moderstaors (123 simples) advice just yet, I’d say be ready to delete your catalog as this is the most dangerous deal everyone has ever seen since stock media e-commerce was invented.
I do not care what anyone says, you are handing your intellectual property over to Envato to use however they want, perpetually, forever! Hence, your property, is by legal language, becoming their property even you decide to delete your music files after June 1, 2023.
Would you sell a car or house for $0?
