As one of the preparation steps for the upcoming launch of TubeCaption.com, I’m setting up the official blog on WordPress.com.
This blog is aimed at providing more information about the development at TubeCaption. We will post important messages such as servers status, maintenance schedule, major announcements. The blog will serve as a medium to get our ideas across to all the users in the most transparent ways.
We are working very hard on the first release of TubeCaption.com. Please stay tuned.

Umm…I want to sign up, but on the signup page, it says you must agree to your terms of service, but I can’t actually *find* these terms of service. Sort of a major omission. ^_^
(Really, all I really need to know is if the captioning becomes the property of TubeCaption, or if I can use the same captions on other sites as well.)

(Oh, and the link for the contact page is also missing, which is why I posted this as a blog comment. Another rather serious omission, even if the site is in beta…)

@codemman38,
Thanks for the heads up. We are working on the legal terms right now so it will be available soon. Basically we are only trying to cover our bases so that we won’t get into trouble legally. We are in the process of getting incorporated, and very soon TubeCaption will be its own business entity that both Javier (my cofounder) and I can safely run (from the basement!). Once this process is done, we will have all the terms spelled out fair and square.
Thanks again for the excellent point of who has the “ownership” of the captions. To answer your question, we don’t intend to own ANY of the captions — simply because they are NOT ours to begin with. We want to be the good guy who people would go to and look for CC for videos. We value the contributions of anyone who spends time working on the captions (it’s a labor intensive task!) and the great value which the captions would bring to the community. We will stay free forever and we hope more people would benefit from our service.
