Welcome Oblivion Remix Contest

[bgalbraith]

So what's the rule about posting our entries here? Obviously flooding the thread with posts isn't going to happen, but are we allowed to post a link to them if we submitted a remix?

You can link to your submission. In fact, that's encouraged if you want to get Facebook votes. What you aren't supposed to do is also post your submission to soundcloud or some other host.

Hosting a remix on soundcloud/other is allowed only if you own the material you worked on.

If it includes copyrighted material you do not own, you won't be able to. That's what i read in the rules.
If it's true and you can't host a track even if you own the material you worked on, can i have a link to the official statement.

The way I read it, if you used any of the stems (which you have to for it to be a valid entry), you now have included copyrighted material you don't own, thus the rule applies.

Also, from the terms:

By entering this Contest, Entrants assign away and transfer (as set forth below) any and all rights in the Remixes on a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable and royalty-free basis, for any and all purposes including, but not limited to, display, public performance, posting for streaming and/or download, making of derivative works, reproduction, distribution, and all other means of exploitation of the Remixes. Entrants agree that the Artist, or a designee of Artist, shall, from inception, own all right, title and interest in each Remix (including, but not limited to, the copyrights in the sound recording) in perpetuity, free from any claims by Entrant or any other person and all such works shall be deemed "works made for hire" for the Artist or such designee. Entrants shall have no ownership rights or interest whatsoever in the applicable Remix, and shall not commercially use or exploit the Remix in any manner whatsoever. Entrant is permitted to use the Audio Assets solely for the creation of Submission Materials and Remixes and participation in this Contest.

So you assign away all rights to the work. I doubt, however, that anyone will actually try to stop you from re-using your own works created for the remix (aside from the stems) should it not be selected.
