Media Agency Initiatives - Content Owners Rights Act

The FTC will propose legislation requiring all legacy content providers to disclose revenue-sharing arrangements through standardized SEC media agreements. This transparency mandate will apply to agreements between content owners and network partners.

Key Requirements

Disclosure Mandate: Content providers must reveal revenue splits for both:

• Original agreements with content creators and members
• Current revenue-sharing arrangements with networks.

Process: Loading content, and setting up website relationships.

This will be accomplished by all content owners setting up their domains and their respective agreements with network providers, and/or citizens.

Enforcement Mechanism: If content providers fail to comply, affected parties may file claims with the SEC, including:

• Content creators
• Network partners
• Other stakeholders with market access rights

This legislation aims to bring transparency to content monetization and ensure fair compensation across the digital content ecosystem.
