AnnoyBot posted:I have an outfit that makes cable animal documentaries wanting to license a video I posted to Youtube. They have sent me a contract specifying "non-exclusive right in perpetuity to broadcast all or part of the material in connection with the production, exploitation, promotion and/or advertising of the program throughout the world for the entire period of copyright in the material and all extensions and renewals thereof by all means and in all media". They are offering $100 if they use it, $1 if they take it and don't use it. Footage is from a Flip HD. What a professor once told me is that signing away your rights to something should cost 3-4 times (if not more) than licensing it for a single use, and a commission-but-don't-use should be around half. They're not asking to take all rights for the video, but asking for unlimited use for eternity seems pretty close. I don't know any numbers on market rates, but $100 definitely is bullshit (even for a single-use license), and that $1 is few orders of magnitude above ridiculous. Edit: This was for illustrations, so YMMV for other fields
