Centralized Registration and EULA
grsphoto:
On a couple of other threads it has been pointed out the "weakness" in not having a centrialized Regiration and common EULA.
These would be good to have. I also understand that it isn't likely to happen.
I would like to propose alternatives.
Central Registration would be good to have, but would be a security nightmare. Presently registration is required to keep others from using paid for downloads.
I think the solution would be to use someone else's registration system, such as Facebook, Google, or Wordpress.org. There are plug-ins that allow this to happen easily. For various marketing reason I think google might be the best choice to "suggest" to potential clients.
For the EULA I suggest we come up with 3 to 5 that most people can aggree on. Post these on a central location.... symbiostock.com.... and use descriptive title. Then on my site I can say I use the " Free Trade" EULA and link to that. In the future, if implimented, this could be included in the image database per image.... which would make it searchable as well.
Comments?

I agree with centralised registration and common EULA
If people do dont want either of the above there could be an opt out set up. If though we are in the same boat it should make things easier

I would be happy to use a common eula, as long as it covers all things correctly and thoroughly. I have seen some that were way too broad, imho. Registration...i am still on the fence because i dont think it can be done and still allow me control.

If you use a google registration like I have on:
http://peopleimages.grsphoto.ca/wp/customer-licence-and-file-management-area/
You have the same control.... it just is easier for your potential clients to log in... 1 click instead of click, type, click,wait for email, type, click.....
As for common EULA I don't think we will ever agree on 1, so I am suggesting we use 3 to 5 different ones, allowing you the option to choose.... or use your own. From the client perspective knowing that the EULA is the" general royalty free Symbiostock EULA" or whatever we call it means they only have to read it once.... not read every sites verbage.

I would be interested in the Google registration. I think I will give it a try.
As far as the EULA is concerned I agree that 3 to 5 samples would be good. But I think individuals will customize as needed. Are there different versions needed for different licensing requirements and will there be different versions needed to meet various national legal requirements? Just some thought.
