Hey there,
I have not spoken much on the forums so a brief intro is in order.
My dev name is CCP ArnarV and I am responsible for the technical side of our live broadcasts. I have been with CCP for 8 years and for most of that time I have been a video producer for our live-action material such as the In development videos. The greatest joy though I get is creating the weird & quirky stuff like the Permaband's HTFU & Killing song & video, The Chess boxing, Skyward sphere, Yule lads etc.
That done. On to the subject,
EVE TV is offering advertising space during its coverage of Alliance Tournament XII due to be broadcast live in August/September. Your advert will be played before matches on the live stream of the tournament. Put your corporation, your web site, your capital ship trade business or any EVE related advert on the biggest ad space available.
As always there is no charge to run a player advert on EVE TV for the Alliance Tournament.
General Rules
All video material must be Eve related!
The item/service being advertised must be Eve related.
Advert can not include copyrighted music or visuals.
The advert must be suitable for all ages.
Content must be respectable (no attack ads) and suitable for broadcast.
Adverts must be in English.
The quality of the advert must reflect positively on EVE itself, we will give comments and advice on improving the quality of the video until we can accept it.
The deadline for each weekend of the tournament is midnight on the Wednesday of that week. ThatGÇÖs August 13th, 20th 27th and September 3rd. If accepted your advert will be shown on all the subsequent weekends of the tournament. Please keep in mind if you want to be sure your advert will be included please submit it at least a couple days earlier.
Technical Rules
1920x1080 resolution with a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio, failing this you can submit as 1280x720, adverts will not be accepted in any other resolutions. Video should not contain black bars either horizontal or vertical.
Either 30 or 29,970 frames per second, adverts will not be accepted at any other frame rate.
Time length should be exactly 15 Seconds long.
If you are using Royalty Free / Creative Commons Music then credit the author somewhere in the end plate.
Video codec should be Mp4 or MOV file with H.264 as a compressor at 15 to 20Mbps.
Label your video file appropriately. Example: AllianceName_AdTitle_AT12.mp4
Each corp/alliance/website are allocated one ad slot in each cycle. You can submit multiple adverts but they will rotate with each cycle of all the tournament ads.
Royalty Free music
We don't want to take any chances of getting into trouble for using copyrighted material so I suggest you consider using Royalty free. There is wast amount of Royalty Free music online so it should be easy finding a suitable track to back up those pretty visuals.
If you are not sure on how Creative Commons works this image explains it nicely.
Creative Commons Simplified
Here are a few suggestions for music communities.
Creative Commons Music Communities
This YouTube channel by AudioPad has over 250 tracks. To use the music, simply read the licence in the description of each video.
AudioPad - Royalty Free YouTube channel
Please contact us at [email protected] to submit your video and to ask any questions.
Any service being advertised must be free to players or accessed using in game currency. If you are interested in advertising a paid service or items not directly related to EVE please contact us at [email protected].

Very valid question there Hendrick,
Copyright rules are very clear. If copyrighted material is used permission or license is needed from the artist or label. It does not matter if we are charging for the stream or not. In the past it seems like we have chosen to turn a blind eye to this but we don't want to take unnecessary gambles for future broadcasts.
I did look into getting a broad license that covers international broadcasts which would cover everything like tv and radio stations use but it is very expensive and we would need to report every artist/song played on air.
I understand if people are annoyed by this but if we brake the rules we can get into trouble. 
The Creative Commons community is massive and I am positive that there is something that fits whatever theme people are going for. On that note, I forgot this music resource link in my previous post - CCP Soundcloud

You will get an email once we review the video sent to [email protected]. (You should have one now)
There was a delay in responses from evetv@ for a few weeks but it should not take as long now.

MailDeadDrop wrote:I'm not making a video advert, so I have no vested interest in the answer. But I do have a friend who is a musician and music publisher. If one were to use copyrighted music in an advert, what documentation would CCP need from the video producer to demonstrate that the music is used with permission?
MDD
The common practice is to use a Copyright release form. Here is an example release form
"A release form is used by a copyright holder, as an alterative to a creative commons licence, to specify the terms whereby an identified person or organisation may license a work free from some or all of the usual restrictions. Typically a release form is used to grant the use of a work for educational or non-commercial use."

No, if you make your own original audio you don't have to do anything.

He dares: All ads will get equal amount of air time. Waffles submit more than one so I guess it feels like they are getting more air time. If you do submit more than one your second one will go into the next rotation.
Alekseyev Karrde: Sorry for the delay. Vacations are ending here at the office and July is the worst ;)

Yes no problem. Wetransfer is also used and works well.

Sorry about that. While I was knee high in cables and tweaking hardware I had another person help me to create ad packages for the day but there was some misunderstanding so the ads did not go into the correct order.
I'm going to try to get a last minute fix for today.

Now that the AT 12 is over I would like to thank you all for sending in your adverts. I know that it takes a lot of time to create quality material and they did so much for the broadcast.
I am also really pleased on how well everyone adjusted to using only Royalty Free or licensed materials for their ads.
Had a blast doing this and hope that we can repeat this for the next tournament ;)
Thanks again!

As many of you know, the o7 show is a regular thing that we do to bring all sorts of information and discussion to you live from the CCP studio.
We would like to use some of the advertisements sent to us for the Alliance Tournament XII in the o7 show. We are assuming you have no problems with that fact but if you do, contact me via EVE mail asap and we will work it out.
o7!
