Your content is valuable. It's time you got paid for it

Contenseo is a system that connects people who want to license (sell) their content with people who are looking to license (buy) high-quality content. Contenseo also gives publishers, copyright holders, and creators an easy way to earn more income from their content.

AI firms and large language model developers require high-quality content and data to train their models. If you publish and own high-quality content, you may be able to license it and earn extra revenue from your work. 

A wide range of businesses license content, depending on their needs. These include AI developers (LLMs), media firms, publishers, sporting rights owners, film & documentary makers, content marketers, creators, educational institutions, and SEO specialists. 

Extra revenue for copyright holders

As a copyright holder, you can now make your content available to license around the world. This means extra revenue. 

As the copyright holder or publisher, we believe that we have to give value first, before charging. This is why you can become a member of Contenseo for free, find out the value of your content and then receive all the help you need to license your content to AI firms and LLM developers. 

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to how much licensed content costs, but it should always be more affordable than commissioning the creation of that content. The price can vary depending on several factors, including:

• Type of content: Audio, images, videos, and text can all have different pricing structures. 
• Exclusivity: Exclusive licences, where you’re the only one allowed to use the content, typically cost more than non-exclusive licences.
• Usage: How a licensor plans to use the content e.g. for commercial purposes.
• Content quality and demand: High-quality or in-demand content will generally cost more.
• Length of use: A one-time use licence may be cheaper than a license for ongoing use.

Here are some general pricing models used for licensed content:

• Fixed fee: This is a one-time payment for the right to use the content.
• Royalty fee: This is an ongoing payment based on how the content is used.
• Subscription: Some content providers offer subscriptions that allow you to access a library of content for a monthly or annual fee.

For specific costs, it’s best to check with the copyright holder using a service like Contenseo. 

Imagine a world where licensing fees flow effortlessly. Once the licensing agreement is complete, Contenseo distributes the payment to the copyright holder, guaranteeing they are paid in full and on time, while streamlining the process for both parties.

Copyrighted content refers to ‘original works of authorship that are granted legal protection’. This means the creator has exclusive rights to control how their work is used, copied, distributed, or adapted for a set period. Here’s a breakdown of what’s considered copyrighted content:

• Originality: The work must be original, meaning it wasn’t copied from something else. It can express ideas in a unique way, be it writing, video, audio, images or even a computer program.
• Tangible form: Copyright applies to works that are ‘fixed’ in a physical form. So, your unpublished ideas aren’t protected, but a written article or a recorded podcast would be.

Some common examples of copyrighted content include:

• Literary works: books, poems, articles, blog posts, scripts
• Artistic works: paintings, sculptures, photographs, graphic designs
• Audio works: podcasts, songs, compositions, recordings
• Audiovisual works: movies, TV shows, videos
• Software: computer programs and applications

It’s important to note that copyright protects the expression of an idea, not the idea itself. So, you can’t copyright a general concept, but you can copyright the way you express that concept in an article, for instance.
