Yes, the difference does seem out of line. But I am sure when it was set up in the beginning people thought well if it is printed ... it lingers forever but on TV it will show a few times at most...
Cable has indeed changed some of this though as they can run it once a year for five times during that week they are showing it!
It is a tough question....
By the way hello from Glendale Arizona!
Ed Sharpe archivist for SMECC
Good Day Colleagues,
I am the archivist at a mid-size museum in Prescott, AZ with a photo
collection of around 100,000 photos which serves a very large geographical
area. Recently, we recieved a request from a producer of the Discovery
Channel to use a still photo in their documentary. Our current commercial
use fee policy is $100 to use per 10,000 copies, (i.e. 50,000 copies=$500).
I have been reviewing ohter repositories policies, and it seems that film
and TV fees are desperatly under-charged. Since the policy at my archives is
based on a production basis, how might one determine the production
(distribution) of a Discovery Channel Documentary? Worldwide publication?
All-Media worldwide publication? What I have found is that most repositories
only charge $200 or less for TV and film fees, and I find this to be under
priced. Please give me some feedback on what you might suggest I do in this
situation; to either change our policy, demand a distribution number for the
documentary to place pricing on, or reserve the right to deal with each
situation on a one by one basis. Thank you.
