new britfilms.co.uk may be legal snare!!

I found an interesting web-short film channel. It looked like a good idea to send in my ever growing section of short films, until I looked at the “legal” page. It seems that if you submit a film, they have the right to redistribute it, all over the web, in any form (edited to remove you from the credits, for example) [color=red]forever.[/color]

The site is www.britfilms.co.uk

I emailed this to them.

“I am concerned about the rights in the legal section. It claims that if I submit a film you would have the right to distribute it on the net. I see that you would have to do this, but there seems to be no end to the amount you can distribute it and re-distribute it, or, for example, if you would be able to edit the film to remove my credits. I would like a clause stating such limitation before I submit any film.”
