    That's not legal at all! You can't take someone else's content, and just add your watermark on top. And call it a day.

    Also, you know you can edit your post right? And just tag me in the edit, I'll still get a notification about it.

    As I have now confirmed, I will not be showing any real life television programmes at this time.

    I did not know that already but thank you for telling me!

    That's not enough, if you're doing that then your just tricking youtubes auto-detect system. You need to add your own content to be able to legally show it.

    I can also add a watermark too it, many people do that legally and earn ad revenue from it. However at this moment, I do not have plans to add real life television programmes and since all of the programmes that will be on the channel we’re created by me, I can legally earn ad revenue.

    Norways right, the shows on yt might be specially licenced and the uploader has rights to upload it. The only way to stream something that's copyrighted by someone else without permission is if it fits in the fair use act.

    To build on this...

    Taking something and just reuploading it, or streaming it, does NOT count as fair use.
    Taking something, and changing it, using different clips mixed in with your own content, providing your own commentary on top. Like, a reaction video using clips from the original video, IS fair use. (See the h3h3Productions vs. Matt Hoss case.)

     

    As for proof, literally go to any video. Open the description, and check the "License" field. Most videos tend to use the "Standard YouTube License", which you can find in the YouTube terms of service. Or just Google it.
    Some videos may have another license, if the license allows you to reupload or stream it, then by all means.

    If I alter the video then it is legal to do so, e.g, speed up or slow down speed or placing the video in a box with a background around it.

    Clearly you have your views, but I have qualifications in business and I can tell you that every single person would rather the free $10,000 than a $500,000 valuation. Even if you have the valuation correct, most people will not be comfortable with giving up 50% of their business because they immediately lose a significant amount of scalability and potential. As a matter of fact, small businesses will be more reluctant to give up 50% of their business because they are more than likely going to grow in the future. Imagine someone buys a business and pays $100 for 100 shares as the sole shareholder. You could offer them $500 for 50 shares (decuple their original valuation), but they still will not take it because they know that more than likely within a year their business will be worth more than the proposed $1000 valuation. 

    The same thing applies. Let me paint an example. A small retail business turns over just over $100,000 in annual turnover in their 4th week of trading in Identity. Of that, they have profited $30,000 (the average profit for a retail business is 30%). They hear about your programme and decide to take a shot at winning the grand prize of $250,000. The $250,000 that you propose will be an investment of 2.5x their annual turnover, but they also have to give up 50% of their business to you. Assuming they use your $250,000 to invest the same in the next 4 weeks, by the same calculations we can work out that from the original $250,000 spent, they will turnover approximately $325,000. Of that turnover, the profits will be $97,500. The small business in question has increased their profits 3 fold, but they have had to give up 50% of their business for it. Why would they give up 50% when in reality, the chances are it won't take long to increase your profits 3 fold anyway. I don't think you really understand how business works, but that isn't such a great deal for any business. It's why Alan Sugar doesn't take part of the companies that compete for an investment. The small business would be more inclined to take the $10,000 participation money, which is 10% of their entire annual income, and walk away with 100% of their business. 

    I think you have the attitude that the small business should be privileged to be having your investment, when the reality is you have no expertise, no experience, nothing to show for all of your claims and the big point I should make is that this is an equally valuable deal for both parties. You can't make people work for an investment only to take 50% of their company when they win. Especially small businesses who are going to want to keep as much equity as possible in order to leave doors open for future investments. If the small business really did want to give up 50% of their company, they will find a real investor and make a pitch. Why would they go on a show to try and win an investment when literally anyone with the money would do this deal. As I said, you are making people win the olympics for an opportunity to buy the gold medal. If you have to work for a prize, you should get the prize. You shouldn't have to work for it, then pay for it. Why not host this show, and take no equity in the companies, like the real life show does. This way, people will actually be inclined to want to come on your show. Again, it is a good idea in theory, but the way you have proposed this is pretty horrible and it needs work.

     

    First off, I have real life business experience so I think that we're going to end that point right there.

    This works in real life therefore it will work in game.

    So why would I not join the programme, lose on purpose and walk away with 100% of my company and a free $10,000. I agree with @Capped in that I like the idea and appreciate the ambition, but I don't think your plan adds up. I do not believe this is worth it. Very few would willingly give up 50% of their business for any amount, let alone have to work for it. It is kind of like winning the olympics and then as a reward being given the opportunity to purchase a golden medal, when everyone gets a silver one whether they win or not.

    Joel,

    Thank you for voicing your opinions on the show, they will help us create a much better show for its viewers!

    As I have previously stated, this competition is targeted at smaller businesses that have the ability to scale up.

    Smaller businesses are much more likely to willingly give up 50% Of their business (which more than likely they would buy back later on after the company has scaled up) to me.

    I can make your business a success, however I will only pick the business that I believe can succeed!

    With a current estimated (please do not use these as official numbers) value of 50% at €250,000!

    Any small business would regard that figure as a very generous deal!

    Thank you,

    -Marie Clare Bouchard.

    I would like to announce that EVERY candidate on the show will be payed a lump sum of money for participating on the show, even if you fail to win.

    ALL candidates will receive the same amount of money regardless of their final position.

    So if you were the runner up or the first person to be fired you will receive a sum of cash.

    The money's pricing has not been finalised as we do not know enough about income and money within Identity.

    I estimate the amount that ALL candidates who didn't win, will receive around $10,000 each.

    I hope that this will interest more small businesses to take participate in the programme.

    Also,

    We are looking for advisers on the show,

    The advisers will simply follow the candidates around on their tasks and tell me who to fire and when we reach the final 5 candidates, to give them the TOUGHEST interviews of their lives!

    If you are interested in either of the two announcements then please do not hesitate to contact me!

    How do you know this?

    Former politician @Xilvius said that VAT is the only tax that can be changed.

    If you would like to learn some more about the tax system in Identity then you can watch this video;

    I hope that this will help you better understand taxes in Identity.

    Have a good Christmas Lucious and hopefully we can look forward to an IPO debate in January!
