WP I understand that but what I'm talking about is simply a video of the Q and A.
While you can't use AFL footage (well you can, but it is probably too expensive) you only have an interview, same as on TV. I'd pay around $25 for that DVD of 3 hours.
I think you can use photos and maybe some footage as reasonable use of the rights to your own image.
Slipper I understand what you're talking about but, this is where Carr is different.
Every other player needs the TV panels and interviews to raise their profile and thus their income from deals.
Dusty does not.
Why give the TV shows the value of your presence when primarily the show are the only ones benefiting.
The $50K fee for the re-signing announcement is the prime example.
It added to the value of The Footy Show as the newsbreaker and added to their ratings/ads sell/credibility etc.
You want that, you pay.
This is where the conflict is happening. Gale wants to get the publicity, Carr wants the money.
This is where I think Carr is leaning.
Dusty will not do panel shows like the Footy Show where he is reduced to one of the 3 stooges.
It means he can control the format and style, just like he did with the signing report. (Pre-filmed and thus edited in a pool room setting with the interviewers chatting casually)
As I've said before, this is VERY common with music and movie people.
Control your environment and you control your clients image.
The other one from music is a limit on use of image. Big stars will have media groups sign contracts before interviews and photo shoots where use is limited to one or two uses before the product reverts to the act. The TV shows and magazines don't really care that much cause they just want a story for that issue. Haven't you seen the "Countdown" re-runs on the ABC. They actually are sorry they threw away a lot of the footage from the 70's and 80's. The act can recycle the product years later in a coffee table book or DVD.
This is where Bowie's notorious NY "vault" comes in. He told me in 1984 that he already had enough to make about 5 or 6 coffee table books (photos and interviews). He also released two documentaries covering separate 5 year periods of his career. He had the rights and controlled all the footage, including film clips.
