Let\u2019s first start with understanding basics of Social Media Content Rights!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Social Media Rights- What are They? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Said to be the hub of user-generated content<\/a>, social media platforms let users create content and share it with their networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But with pros come cons. As the content (images, videos & texts) on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, and more accessible to everyone globally, there are more chances of online misuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For instance, there are times when brands and users use any content created by a third-party without their permission. This often raises issues like trademark infringement, copyright infringement, which comes under Social Media Laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To prevent brands from the legal hassle, Social Media Content Rights Management<\/a> has been introduced that we\u2019ll discuss later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ideal for any content marketing strategy, user-generated social media content is considered extremely trustworthy & authentic, making it a valuable asset for brands aiming to strengthen their digital brand protection<\/a> efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is why brands utilize this form of content as a part of their marketing strategy to convey a consistent message at every touchpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While by leveraging social media content, brands can improve user-brand interaction, audience engagement, boost brand awareness, build brand trust, increase sales & revenue, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Toyota, Apple, Starbucks, etc. are some great examples of brands that have used social media content to increase social engagement, amplify conversion rates, higher return on investment, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With social media content, there comes a couple of questions that brands should ask themselves. For instance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, social media content can\u2019t be freely used by anyone, especially when a brand plans to use that content for advertising or commercial purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All thanks to tools that have helped brands to get social media rights from the content creators to retain the legal rights to their content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking of social media content, every social network makes users sign an agreement. In this agreement, it is mentioned that the particular social network and its partners have the license\/authority to make public display or sharing of content, but under certain restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, under the protection of Terms of Services (TOS)<\/em>, most social media networks don\u2019t allow the brand to leverage social media content for advertisement or money-making from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, brands should better seek permission from the original creator of the particular content to avoid legal hassles such as content copyright infringement, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two major ways through which a brand can get legal permission to repurpose social media content<\/a>. Both of them are mentioned below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the name suggests, Implicit Consent <\/em><\/strong>or Implied Consent <\/em><\/strong>is the traditional way of directly generating content from users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this process, brands encourage users to use a specific hashtag to create and share users\u2019 content related to their products & services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, the users are told in advance that their content might be featured on the brand\u2019s website or social media networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this way, users already know the brand\u2019s implicit intention of repurposing their content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, if the customers are participating in the hashtag campaigns on social media<\/a> willingly, that means they agree to the terms and conditions of the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The world\u2019s largest \u201c#StarbucksDate: a day for all those singles to mingle\u201d which was introduced by Starbucks is one of the best examples of Implicit Consent. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The campaign was initiated on February 13, 2015, by the brand to celebrate both romantic as well as platonic connections. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this campaign, customers were invited to join the World\u2019s Largest Starbucks Date at Starbucks locations all across the globe.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n If simply put,<\/strong> in implicit consent, participants understand that their content will be shared for a brand\u2019s marketing purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And therefore a brand doesn\u2019t need to ask for access to show user-generated content on any other platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This case is completely the opposite of Implicit Consent. If utilized properly, the user-generated content can do wonders for a brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike the campaign-driven implicit consent, Explicit Consent<\/em><\/strong> is referred to as seeking permission from original content creators for their content through messages, or third-party tools.<\/p>\n\n\n Said to be more authentic than campaign-driven content, explicit consent increases the demand for social media content rights even more but brands have to put a little extra effort to gather content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To make the users accept the terms & conditions of Explicit Consent, brands need to apply a few tips while connecting with users;<\/p>\n\n\n\n This way you can spread your intentions to the users regarding their content and therefore get access to their social media content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Taggbox – UGC Rights Management<\/a> is a product from Taggbox a UGC platform<\/a> that helps you collect, curate, share & track content rights requests and repurposes the approved user-generated content<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n The features offered in Rights Management by Taggbox are mentioned-below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.
