Basic principles
First things first: at Blip we do not take ownership of video uploaded to our service. Your video is yours. It's your property. We'll never do anything with it like sell advertising against it without your express permission.
Creative Commons
We're very proud to support the Creative Commons at Blip. Creative Commons licenses provide a flexible range of protections and freedoms for authors, artists, and educators. We have built upon the "all rights reserved" concept of traditional copyright to offer a voluntary "some rights reserved" approach. When you upload a video to Blip you can choose to license it under a Creative Commons license.
We'd like you to consider choosing a Creative Commons license in order to allow more liberal use and sharing of your media. There are lots of good reasons to choose a Creative Commons license — not the least of which is that doing so helps enrich the world we live in. Check out CreativeCommons.org for more information.
Licensing to Blip
Regardless of the specific license you select, you grant Blip right to store and distribute whatever information (text, video, audio and other) you submit to Blip until and unless you delete it. Without this grant of license Blip couldn't work. This license does not allow us to sell advertising on or resell your content without your prior permission (which could be given by opting into our advertising program, for example).
Videos you don't own
Generally speaking you can't upload any video you don't own. This means that if you didn't create the video (and everything else in it!) you can't upload it to Blip or any other site.
