MindGeek Creates Unique Opportunity for Independent Content Creators

In a world of media conglomerates, MindGeek stands out as a unique provider of content. As the main distributor of copyrighted material, MindGeek has been able to generate significant revenue from the works of others. However, one independent creator is immune to this siphoning of revenue - Manyvids uploaders. Unlike Mindgeek's own employees, the profiting from copyright infringement of the uploaders of Manyvids is not possible, as an independent distributor of their content. While licences are granted by MV's uploaders to the site, they still retain full legal ownership of their work. This means that any profits generated by MV’s content are retained by its creators and not siphoned off by Mindgeek or any other company. This provides an incredible opportunity for independent creators who wish to distribute their work without having to worry about it being taken away from them without compensation. By mirroring content from relatively few MV uploaders to distributed services, these creators can attract disproportionate user activity and gain exposure for their work in ways that would otherwise be impossible with larger companies such as Mindgeek in control. The combination of copyrighted media from Mindgeek and independently owned works creates a unique selection that no business entity can legally operate in - giving independent creators an advantage over those working within large companies like Mindgeek who may be subject to more stringent regulations and policies regarding copyright infringement. In short, while some may view Mindgeek’s position as a “dominant distributor” with suspicion or even disdain due to its ability to siphon revenue from others’ works, there is also an opportunity here for independent creators who wish to take advantage of what this company has created and use it as a platform for success on their own terms.
