Joseph Gordon-Levitt: HitRecord Is 'GitHub For Creativity' (venturebeat.com) 23
Krystalo writes: HitRecord is a production company transitioning into a tech platform. We caught up with cofounders Jared Geller and Joseph Gordon-Levitt at Collision 2019 in Toronto last week to understand what HitRecord was, is, and wants to be. HitRecord is a collaborative media platform that lets anyone work together on creative projects. If a project earns money, contributors are paid based on any work that makes it into the final product. In June, HitRecord will have paid out some $375,000 over the past year, totaling over $3 million contributor payments since 2010. CEO Gordon-Levitt works 20-30 hours per week, while president Geller is full time. The site has 750,000 users interested in collaborating on content together.
And not even a link (Score:2)
No link to this HitRecord company site, and not even in the article itself.
Yes, I want my instant gratification - that's what the whole web is supposed to be about, isn't it?
But seriously, I find it annoying that no one even bothered to do this easy thing for their readers to find/visit a site they've written about. I want a quick TL;DR, and a link to visit the page, then if what I see is interesting I'll probably read the article - but not like this.

Well, at least the linked "story" doesn't feature an auto-play music video of Joseph Gordon-Levitt playing banjo with Zooey Deschanel on ukulele.

You would rather an autoplaying clip of just Gordon on his own when he was going through his black phase [youtube.com]?

The talk Joseph Gordon-Levitt gave at the Open Source Summit in 2017 I found to be very entertaining. Still not entirely sure why he was at OSS, but it was a cool look at his company. Here is the yt link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... [youtube.com]

50 cents (Canadian) payout per user. How can anyone refuse that deal.
Details on rights and payments (Score:1)
What are the details on copyrights, attribution and payments? The linked article has a vague discussion of them.
If I provide the backup trumpet part of a song, how does it work?
What does HitRecord keep in terms of copyrights, trademarks and licensing arangements from a work I and 2 or 3 others produce on the site?

I know, that Youtube thing will never take off, and Twitch is doomed from the outset, let alone DeviantArt.
Oh. Wait.
