Intellectual Property Exploitation I have experienced through internet media platforms
I am a creative and innovative film maker, composer, and multi media artist. I find that working on the internet for me has been something like walking down the street in a bad crime neighborhood. For example, at least two social media platforms invited me to have free online studios so that I could try to sell my products through them for a percentage of the profit. I spent a few years working and producing, and about a month before Christmas on those platforms, my identity as productive artist and intellectual property owner of my own creative efforts was somehow hijacked and the platforms let me see my work as if I were to purchase it from myself, but would not allow me any proper and due financial access to my own results. As soon as my intellectual property ownership of my own works was of high potential monetary value, my access to the fiscal part of my studios was cut off. The platforms replied to emails about the problem with bafflegab and sarcasm. The platforms were VIDA and ISTOCK. It is not that the platforms were unhappy with the work I did. The platforms still advertise it and I can not remove it even though in essence I own it. You can see from my list of recent film festival wins that I am not an unsuccessful creative. I am old and alone so I am a free wallet to internet thugs. However, I still have free speech!! It is of value for human rights issues to be heard. My free speech is repressed, but I do continue in essence possess free speech. I thank God for democracy. Some platforms I love, I have better luck with online study and film making.
