To be honest this seems like lawyers being lawyers and EventBrite rectifying the situation promptly when they knew, and clarifying it had never happened IRL.
OP still not happy unless they go out of the way to shame themselves rather than generically referring to the issue?
- jmadsen 8y agolawyers don't write in a bunch of permission clauses. they turn what their clients asks for into legalese.
- ccozan 8y agoThis might be the case, but I think that maybe the original request ( Hey guys, what if we could film such an event and use it for our promotion ), translated into legalese, had to be that broad otherwise it made no sense ( ie. that Eventbrite would have had to run after everyone to ask for permission to film, or that after filming, the participants would have to veto it ).
- aplummer 8y agoThis is what I mean, hey lawyers we want to film events for promo stuff, and lawyers go through all the risks and make the contract super aggressive.
- rhizome 8y agoThe idea being that it was too buried for Eventbrite themselves to be aware of it?
- theyinwhy 8y agoThere is no way high level managers and/or the CEO of Eventbrite did not know about this.
- hluska 8y agoSenior level people at Eventbrite would have had to have known about this clause. The fact that they allowed it in the first place communicated quite a bit about their priorities.
