I also think 20 % is unfair but that seems to be the average amount I've seen. You have to take into account the expenses of running the site, plus it is no cost to you to add your content to a VOD site. Anything you make is a bonus. It would be nice if it were a split partnership and it was 50/50, but that ain't happening.



Dood,

Do your own or don't do it. It's a 20% split because most do a non-exclusive distribution agreement - and thats where the problem lies. It's not expensive to covert, host or serve up. They know your going to execute a distribution agreement with everyone and dilute the revenue potential with them.

The idea that anything you get is 'extra' is just plain stupid. The cost is lost revenue from your site, lost revenue from DVD sales and a dilution of your product value because you can't sell a DVD or site membership for $20 when consumers are already paying six cents a minute.
