If you wanted people to send you videos saying ``You know, Ya Know?'' for your commercial use later, what copyright issues are involved?

I want to know whether the creative commons approach of Flickr.com is best, or if I need a form, or what?
The best answer will also suggest the delivery channel for the video.
To rephrase, I want to end up with lots of cleared video of people saying those four words -- ``You know, Ya Know? for use on a dot com domain. How would you suggest doing it?

Please include a video of yourself (and others) saying ``you know, ya know'' for extra credit. I will tip at least two additional people other than the best answer $1 for their input if there are good responses.
Tip for best answer: M$5.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

You would need to write up a model release contract for them to sign. You can always look up "model release" on Google to find sample contracts.

I found one here. You find a contract close to what you need, then modify it.

1)
Make a simple, 1 page website with a catchy domain.

2)
Have this general layout:
Introduction Text
Benefit statement
Instructions
Example / Highlight Video
User submitted comments

4)
Technically, use Youtube's video uploader and simply have people submit their entries on youtube. A good number of folks are already comfortable with the youtube uploader and process. No need to reinvent the wheel.

3)
Create a short 10 - 15 second video that mentions the site url and what you want people to do. Ensure that you highlight your benefit.

Your benefit / reward could be a contest, paypal money transfer for first xxx number of people, etc.

4)
Market your introduction video and the url of your site. A good place to start is on youtube itself. Post in the comments there, on blogs, on other tube sites, etc, etc.

Difficult task. If you are concerned about copyright, the best way to procure it is a written, signed, witnessed, notarized, dated statement from the artist written to you, relinquishing all copyright for themselves and giving all copyright to you.

good luck!
