Its very nice to work with junkinmedia...
I must tell, the dog who is in the video died last year from a bactery. I lost my biggist love a peace of my live broke.
But i will always remember what she have done for me...and this video will always remember her how perfect she whas. I miss her so much...this video will people never forget its doing good for me she is not here but in our hearts over the world and video she will never forget.

This is perhaps the most despicable and unethical company on the internet. They have been targeting my Facebook page and have now reached my Instagram . The video has been used by several other platforms but they have found mine to become a pest to. These people are preys despicable trolls that have nothing to do but harass people for nothing . No one is making a dollar off the videos but them. Selling them your content and getting $50 from them is leaving them to extort people for thousands of dollars while the real owner gets $49. I don’t think they own all the videos they are claiming but they troll pages as they are envious of followers.

I didn't know you could make money with viral videos. I'm glad that Jukin Media contacted me. It's been a pleasure dealing with them. They answered all my questions and made sure I understood what I was getting into. The process was super easy. Once I signed they did everything for me. Within the first month, I had made over $500! Thank you!

Jukin Media is a horrible company!!! They are filing theft of intellectual property against Facebook members for sharing random and harmless videos they "supposedly" have copyright on. I shared a video of a dog. Facebook then arbitrarily removes the video in question immediately and blocks your account for a period of time or permanently. Unfortunately this has been an awful experience for me, because I had my Facebook business page attached to my personal account and now my business page is permanently blocked as well. Jukin Media doesn't recognize apologies for unknowingly sharing a video that they "supposedly" have rights to, and requires you to purchase a retroactive license for each instance of a video in the amount of $49 to $149. Scamming individuals out of money, not to mention potentially hurting individuals livelihood. Do not use this company. Do not work with this company. They do not care who they hurt.

Highly recommended. Payments are always on time and there are never any issues.

No idea who these people were when they contacted me. They explained the process and what they wanted to do with my video. I still don't know how they're still selling it but I'm happy as I keep getting checks in the mail.

Great, would work with again.

They are a company that does nasty things for small businesses. I used to own a FB page with 20,000 followers and because I shared a video of a dog, they reported me to FB and they canceled my page. What harm was I doing for sharing a video on my page? When my followers were less than 10k, I was nobody for them and I was never reported. As soon as I reached that number, they started following me. They are very nasty!

These guys are the best in the business. I just read they've paid out $25 million to the video creators they've worked with, I was one of them! Very helpful and every once in a while I'll get a check in the mail from them

This company is very easy to work with. They very quickly and easily solve any issues that may come up. Thank you for choosing my video.

Both Wikipedia and MxR have stated that Jukin Media are extortionists well known for trapping social media users into paying "retroactive licences" for use of media that fall under the category of Fair Use - for nonprofit educational purposes only. This is a popular online scam that several unscrupulous companies are using to trick people because they know no one will spend thousands or even millions of dollars taking them to court over a single social media video or image they have unwittingly shared. It's becoming big business and my advice is to block this online mafia whenever possible.

I've had a great experience with Jukin Media. The money has been good, and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

Claiming copyrights to videos constantly, ruining social media pages/channels with their complaints and demanding retroactive licensing even on removed videos.

Jukin's partnership staff is professional and friendly, and the dashboard is easy to use, so that's great!

However, The Today Show and PEOPLE.com reached out to me directly to use my video, but dropped me when I told them it was licensed by Jukin. You may lose some cool opportunities when you sacrifice rights to your content (could definitely apply to any licensing company). I also wish I had visibility into the outlets they are "actively" pitching.

Jukin Media traps unwary social media members into buying retroactive licenses for sharing a video one time which has no copyright markings and no warning that a license is required to share. There is no warning, only a copyright strike on you so that your social media account is blocked either for a period of time or permanently. They require and demand a retroactive license purchase. They arbitrarily determine if your sharing constitutes fair use or not and your only recourse is to take it to federal court. That's expensive and is the result of a loophole in copyright law that was meant to be protective of creative content creators but is now being used to something akin to extortion to enforce the rights of the original owner. This is an unscrupulous business model designed to scare innocent people into purchasing a license at a cost of anywhere from $49 to $299 even though the video has been removed and might only have been up for a few minutes. For $49 Jukin Media sells you a license without a watermark which would signify that the media is not in the public domain and could result in a DMCA notification filed against you. This looks like the company has intent to open people up for accidental "theft of intellectual property". Copyright law at this time requires companies like Facebook to immediately remove the claimed video upon notification from the owner that you don't have a license or permission to share the video. This theft of intellectual property notification will become your first introduction to copyright law. This unethical attack is a blatant abuse of copyright law in this day and age where media is commonly shared on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and elsewhere. Live links are included in all media whether on social media like Facebook or YouTube, national news websites, or local news links. If the video is not shareable then there should not be a live link available for sharing. There are divisions of Jukin Media called the Pet Collection, FailArmy, This Is Happening, People Are Awesome, and Poke My Heart. I have created a Facebook groups entitled Jukin Media False Accusations which everyone should join because everyone who has ever shared a video online is potentially a victim of Jukin Media since the agreement they have with the original owners includes rights to enforce PAST, present, and future unauthorized use of the media. Think about that.
