Non-Exclusive Genital License Agreement

‘Lo child!

Have you been receiving a lot of unsolicited dick in your DMs lately? Have a surplus of dick-related inventory and not sure how to leverage it? We’re here to help!

Recipients of Unsolicited Genital Imagery (UGIs, or “Dick Pics” in common parlance) often express concern over licensing issues that may arise. When a UGI is sent, who retains copyright of the Dick in Question? Is the recipient authorized to make derivative works based on the Dick in Question? Is the recipient authorized to sell those works, or the UGIs themselves?

With the assistance of our cult’s legal team, we have drafted a Non-Exclusive Genital License Agreement to cover these and any other legal ramifications of receiving a Dick Pic. Simply fill in your name and the name of the sender, and pass this document along. We have formatted this sample message for you to copy/paste as needed:

Thank you for your contribution to our Dick Pic Distribution service! Your Dick is valued and appreciated.
Contributions to this network are covered under a Non-Exclusive Genital License Agreement that grants the recipient of this Unsolicited Genital Imagery (UGI, or “Dick Pic”) rights to distribute, make available for sale, and make derivative works based on your contribution.
Please review this Agreement and return signed via email or fax. Continuation of this conversation beyond this point constitutes acceptance of this Agreement and will be taken as your digital signature.
