I've recently experimented with Facebook AD Breaks and have since learned a lot with my own research. One thing I learned recently; is how the greedy shady business called 'ViralHog' is actually a Shady HOG hence the name. I posted a video that was submitted to ME on my page and posted it. When ViralHog saw it was doing really well and was monetized they uploaded to RIghts Manager and claimed ownership on a video which was not theirs to begin with.

That forced me to appeal the decision ( which I should've done ) or remove the post losing my ad monies. My question is; to avoid this happening in the future, has anyone applied for Facebook RIghts Manager and been approved? If so, does anyone know specifications for getting approved for it? I would like to protect the videos that are submitted to my company by our fan base.

Viralhog sure sucks as I've had my share of run ins with them as well. But just because one of your users uploaded a video to your site, doesn't mean you own the rights. If I make something like a compilation video, I now always check the source. Usually you can find the original on youtube and see if they mention anything about licensing.
 
Yeah hate VIRAL hog. Greedy bastards but their page looks shit lately. Hardly any reach on posts.
