some clauses:

13. By entering the competition, entrants agree that Moby, Mute and its affiliates and licensees shall have the exclusive right to use the video(s) for promotional purposes, in perpetuity throughout the world and in any and all media for no payment or other compensation whatsoever other than as contained herein.

"by entering"? so if my video doesn't win, it's still (exclusively) yours to use, forever, for free?

14. By entering the competition, entrants agree that Moby, Mute and its affiliates and licensees shall have the full right and power to edit, translate, dub or alter the entries in any way it sees fit in its sole discretion.

ah, ok, the director can't touch the track, but you can fuck with the video any way you like. a-huh.

20. The appearance of any video(s) entry on a future release by Moby is subject to Moby’s and Mute’s discretion. If any video appears in any future release no payments or other compensation whatsoever will be payable to the winner or any entrant (or other third party) in respect of that video other than as set out on the Site or herein.

"any video", "any entrant", huh? (see above.)

29. By entering the competition, entrants acknowledge that they may be required to be used in publicity without further consent or payment. Such publicity may include without limitation the entrant’s video, and their name and/or likeness, voice, photographs and/or video footage of the entrant, biographical information provided by the entrants/winners and/or any statement made by them concerning the competition and/or the prizes. Entrants agree that any or all such elements may be used by Mute and its licensees in any and all media in perpetuity throughout the world as Mute and its licensees in their sole discretion see fit but Mute and its licensees shall have no obligation to include an entrant in any publicity whatsoever.

perfect: so if my video wins, you can use it without ever crediting me for it?

way to go, moby...
