A major network news program has just contacted me for permission to use footage from one of my YouTube videos of cherry drying. I said I have plenty of footage to share but require compensation. I asked what their budget was.

I'm thinking that I will either never hear from them again or be told that they have no budget for footage, which is bullshit considering that this show is known worldwide. I suspect that they will offer me credit or exposure, neither of which pays bills. (1/2)
