Recording Release Agreement

Part of the motivation for PyCon is to help with Python education and advocacy around the world, not just in the United States. Accordingly, We intend to record all PyCon presentations and release the recordings on the web. By submitting your talk or tutorial proposal, or by signing up to give a lightning talk, you agree to give permission to the Python Software Foundation to record, edit, and release audio and/or video of your presentation.

To cut down on administration, no exceptions will be made. If you don't want to give the PSF permission to record your presentation and release the recording, do not submit a proposal.

You agree to the following legalese, which certifies that you are the author of your presentation, or otherwise allowed to present it at PyCon, and it allows the PSF 1) to perform the necessary audio and video editing needed to prepare your presentation, and 2) to distribute the recordings to other people, including on YouTube, Blip.tv, Google Video and other video sites. It also allows other people to watch the recordings.

Legalese:

    I certify that I, the Submitter, am authorized to license this proposal
    and its associated presentation (the "User Submission") to the Python
    Software Foundation (the "PSF") for use in association with PyCon 2010.
    Specifically:

    - I, the Submitter, certify that I am either the copyright owner of the
      User Submission or an authorized licensee of the copyright owner. If I
      am an authorized licensee of the copyright owner, I certify that I have
      sublicensable distribution rights.

    - Submitter hereby grants the PSF a worldwide, royalty-free, fully
      paid-up, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the duration of the applicable
      copyright), sublicensable and transferable license to exercise the rights
      in the User Submission as follows:

      1) The PSF is granted a license to reproduce the User Submission,
         to incorporate the User Submission into one or more Collective
         Works, and to reproduce the User Submission as incorporated in
         the Collective Works;

      2) The PSF is granted a license to create and reproduce Derivative
         Works;

      3) The PSF is granted a license to distribute copies or
         phonorecords of, display publicly, perform publicly, and
         perform publicly by means of a digital audio transmission the
         User Submission including as incorporated in Collective Works;
         and

      4) The PSF is granted a license to distribute copies or
         phonorecords of, display publicly, perform publicly, and
         perform publicly by means of a digital audio transmission

    - Submitter waives the exclusive right to collect, whether individually
      or via a performance-rights society, royalties for the public
      digital performance of the User Submission, subject to the
      compulsory license created by 17 U.S.C. Section 114 (or the
      equivalent in other jurisdictions).

    - Submitter specifically affirms the right to perform the User
      Submissions on the PSF's web sites or on other web sites
      designated by the PSF (including, but not necessarily limited to
      YouTube and Google Video).

    - Submitter also hereby grants each person receiving the User
      Submissions distributed by the PSF a non-exclusive license to
      access, use, display, and perform the User Submissions in a
      non-commercial, private context.
