Testing Google Docs "Publish to Blog" Function

Well, cool. It works.

The formatting's a bit wanky, but to be expected.

We'll need some paperwork to make the project fly, and this is one element that will have to be crafted to meet our needs.

Copied this from Current.TV's release forms.

If you want to participate in the crafting / drafting of this (or anything else for that matter), just email me and I'll invite you. In the meantime, this document is publicly readable (tho not editable) HERE.

VIDEO / SUBMISSION RELEASE

“Producer” = Jan McLaughlin

By signature below, the undersigned signifies his or her agreement as follows:

For good and valuable consideration, including the possibility of publicity, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, I hereby irrevocably grant to Producer all services and appearances rendered by me, and all ideas and materials provided by me in connection with the development, production and/or exploitation of print, graphic, audio and/or visual or other content, projects, productions, and product campaigns and/or programs related to “The World's Longest Open Love Letter” (“The Documentary”). My services are a “work-for-hire” as that term is used in copyright law.

I hereby irrevocably give and grant to Producer all rights of every kind and character whatsoever in all media and languages now known or hereafter devised (including but not limited to, film, television, videocassettes, interactive devices and Internet and on-line systems) throughout the world, in perpetuity, in and to all work done, and all poses, acts, plays and appearances made by me, my voice and instrumental, name, likeness and photographs, either still or moving, for all commercial and non-commercial purposes (including, but not limited to, merchandising, advertising and promotion purposes). Without limiting the foregoing, I further irrevocably give and grant to the Producer the right to adapt, change, edit, modify, add to, delete, combine with other materials, record, reproduce, distribute and otherwise exploit the same by any means now known or hereafter devised. Producer and the Producer Parties may freely assign or transfer its rights hereunder, in whole or in part.

I hereby irrevocably agree that I will not assert nor maintain against the Producer, its licensees, successors or assigns, or any other their directors, officers, employees or representatives (“Producer Parties”), in any claim, action, suit or demand of any kind or nature, whatsoever, including, but not limited to, those grounded upon invasion of privacy or of publicity or any other rights (including, without limitation, intellectual property rights), defamation, libel or slander or for any other reason in connection with the exercise of the rights granted herein. I realize that Producer is relying upon this Release in using me in the making of the Project and, accordingly, I hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights to seek or obtain any injunctive or other equitable relief against any of the Producer Parties. I further acknowledge and agree that any breach by me of this Release will cause Producer Parties irreparable harm, and therefore, that each of the Producer Parties will be entitled to injunctive or equitable relief (without the need to post bond or surety or show harm) in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, in any court of competent jurisdiction. The releases hereunder are intended to apply to all claims not known or suspected to exist with the intent of waiving the effect of California Civil Code Section 1542 and other laws requiring the intent to release future unknown claims.

This Release will be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey applicable to agreements executed and to be fully performed therein (without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof).

No compensation will be paid hereunder.
