How YouTube Creator Contracts Protect Your Revenue
Description
Lucas and Luna break down the fine print of YouTube multi-channel network (MCN) contracts and sponsorship agreements, using the 2024 LegalEagle vs. Network case as a real-world example. They explain common revenue share traps, rights grabs, and termination clauses that small creators miss. Luna shares the story of a 50k-subscriber channel that lost six months of ad revenue due to a 30-day payment hold clause. The episode offers a practical checklist for reviewing any creator contract before signing, including specific language to watch for in 'all revenue' vs. 'ad revenue' splits. No legal advice, just a clearer picture of what creators are signing away.
