"I've been making money for over a decade, but I want the consumer to pay for the privilege of buying my product."

Some business model. Must have missed that day in business school.

It's called the, "There's a sucker born every minute" business model.

I didn't bother to watch his pitch video until I was informed that I'm in it (36s in, Soilwork shirt)...

I'll have it be known that I have no backing for this project, but since my picture at PPUSA most probably qualifies as public I can't really do anything about it. I don't endorse it, or terribly much appreciate it.

did you sign a release for him to use your likeness in his video?? :Smokin:

Clearly not, otherwise I'd have known.

 

[TheLongshot]

I like the "FREE SHIPPING and lower priced shipping for smaller orders!" Lower than free?

(I know what was meant, but it amuses me, as much the whole video does.)

 

[MYSTIC1]

This is an April Fool's joke right????

 

[VenomGA]

Clearly not, otherwise I'd have known.

then unless your face is blacked out, he legally can't use your face/likeness in his video...just FYI

I don't see this crowdfunding campaign having a hot dog's chance at a vegan convention of meeting its goal.

 

[Random Axe]

It's been sitting at 210 dollars for three days. I'm guessing the metal/rock community has spoken with their wallets...

The campaign doesn't require that it meet its goal for him to get whatever the hell money he gets from some suckers.

 

[DigitalMan]

We're poking fun in the same ways, methinks. I'm saying that paying 5k to be a contract employee for six months is like the world's worst tour buy-in, like paying non-refundable money to get onto a Paul Dianno tour...

LOL.

That's not true. Photographers are not required to get legal release forms for photographing people in public areas, which a fest like PPUSA is, and even if it's not, it's very likely that a clause exists in the ticket buying addendum that contains your express release for your likeness to be photographed and used, and are able to use those images as they see fit.

I think he should provide you with some compensation for using your picture, like maybe he could let you be his employee for 6 months for only $2,500 (half price).

But that contract is probably only good between the party holding the event and the ticket purchaser (seller and purchases). Not some questionable vendor using it for his self-promotion sake.

Sorry, but I don't agree with it. If someone doesn't want their photo used by a photographer (or in this case, vendor), then it's simple... don't use it.

So, I read up on model releases (mostly because I was curious on the subject.)

From the description here:

It looks like he should have gotten a model release for the use of that photograph, since it is being used for a commercial purpose. Not getting one opens himself up to a lawsuit, if the subject chooses to do that. To be honest, tho, it probably would be like getting water from a stone.

told ya he couldn;t legally use it. I have attorneys in my family

I think the crowd funding thing is really his in-ground swimming pool fund or something
Britt

Either that or perhaps a travel fund to a beach hotel on the ocean with a blond and bottles of booze at sunset. At least that's that Zane's Indiegogo avatar currently depicts. Probably not the best image choice when you're asking for $25,000 from the public to absorb your business risks when you don't want to.

 

[dtfanatic]

Makes me wonder how this even got to $210.

 

[Harvester]

I'm going to close this thread up. I think I have given everyone ample opportunity to discuss this and left it for Zane to respond if he wished.

I don't see this going anywhere else.
