I have a question regarding commercial use fees for the use of still
photographs and video shot on site at your facility. We have a company
that wants to use our site and images from our collection for a nationally
distributed television show. My Director and Marketing Director think that
we should provide everything for free since we will be getting national
exposure. I disagree since we have a commercial use fee in place for our
photograph collection and don't think we should give away the farm. I know
that these TV people have money and have dealt with other organizations
that have policies, procedures and fees for this type of situation.
National exposure will be great, but I feel that actual, traceable cash is
more important to our day-to-day bottom line.

If anyone can help me out with their policies and fees or what they would
do in this situation, it would be greatly appreciated.
