The "License to Scrape"
Ai Licensing for the Creator-Economy
Calliope Networks is pioneering the "License to Scrape," an innovative model that enables creators on YouTube and other platforms to have more control over the use of their content. The "License to Scrape" is a voluntary collective license. While some AI companies are scraping content that is "publicly available" without authorization, we believe that a license is legally required. When AI companies pay for our license, they will be authorized by the underlying content creators to scrape their videos and use them for model training. And the creators will be compensated according to a formula based on volume and subscriber count.
For Content Owners
If you own rights to film and television series and want to monetize them by licensing for AI training, we can help. There is an opportunity to engage with the AI eco-system and influence it, and to earn incremental revenue along the way. AI model training licenses are non-exclusive and do not include exhibition rights
