Did you apply Cleo?

[Pau]

You are!!

[cleochatra]

He-- no! I am still fat enough for two of me right now. But y'all are sweet and thank you.

I want y'all to apply.

Bo, Allie, all you guys who've lost the weight and have kept it off!

So come on people! Just make sure you print out one of Tammy's induction cards to take along and give to Oprah! :joy

[weiner]

Papa Jack needs to apply. He's a total inspiration!!

read the fine print and you will see her production company owns your success story if you send it in

Harpo shall exclusively own all known or later existing rights to the Submissions worldwide and shall be entitled to the unrestricted use of the Submissions for any purpose without compensation to the provider of Submissions.

That would put us in conflict if we wanted to share our sucess with others anywhere else like ADBB

[iyamamaschke]

Geeze thanks 2BIG that would suck not to be able to share with everyone.

I'm not sure that the disclaimer is saying that you can't share your story with others. I think it is saying that they can forever (ie. in the future)use your story and don't ever have to give you money for it.

I dunno though, I'm no lawyer!

[cleochatra]

It looks like it's not a copyright issue so much as what earthgodes said, which is if you give it to them they don't have to do anything for you afterwards but can use your story as much or as little as they want. It's pretty much like that in many venues when something is submitted like this. You could change the wording and then submit your story elsewhere to another talk show host, as livinlavidalowcarb did.

I don't know that little word OWN in there said enough to me to not do it. I want to OWN the rights to my weight loss journey
