"We simplified and clarified Roblox's rights to use Creator UGC in marketing and advertising. We are updating our policies to improve transparency around ads on the platform, to clarify eligibility for ads, and to provide more disclosure around how Roblox uses content for brand advertising.— Excerpt from Roblox's Roblox Terms of Use
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The assertion of intellectual property rights over user-generated content for advertising purposes engages copyright law (the scope of the license granted to Roblox), FTC endorsement and testimonial guidelines (if creator content is used in advertising in ways that could imply endorsement), and potentially right of publicity laws in states such as California, New York, and Indiana if creator avatars, likenesses, or personas are used in advertising. For minor creators, the right of publicity implications and adequacy of parental consent to license content for commercial advertising use are particularly relevant. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision represents a clarification and simplification of existing rights rather than a newly asserted right, according to the change summary. However, the breadth of the advertising license, including use for brand advertising, is material for creators who have built significant commercial value in their Roblox content. The terms do not specify whether this license is royalty-bearing or royalty-free, exclusive or non-exclusive, which creates ambiguity about the scope of commercial exploitation. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California (right of publicity under Civil Code Section 3344), New York, Indiana, and other states with right of publicity statutes create exposure if creator likenesses or personas are used in advertising. EU/EEA creators may have moral rights in their content that limit Roblox's ability to use UGC in advertising without attribution or in ways that distort the original work. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Creators who have entered into external brand partnerships or commercial agreements involving their Roblox content should assess whether the Roblox advertising license creates conflicts with those agreements. Advertising agencies and brand partners working with Roblox should verify the chain of rights for creator content used in campaigns. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams advising creator organizations or platforms that interact with Roblox should review the specific license language in the Creator Terms (incorporated by reference) to determine the precise scope of the advertising license, including duration, territory, and permitted uses. The change summary describes this as a simplification, but any broadening of the advertising use rights relative to prior terms should be specifically assessed against applicable intellectual property and right of publicity law.
