this sounds genius, is it just US outlets they deal with or global?

The bbc will hate this, they love to stick up text on screen, send us your footage/pix, as if they are doing us a favour when it's the other way round with no mention of recompense. People who want money would try to cut a deal with sky as they have more cash but if someone could deal with worldwide rights and deal quickly with legal issues and enforce a deal will be paid then it's good.

They would need a 24hr x 365 operation though.

In UK Mr.paparazzi.com (by Big Pictures) runs a service for people to send celeb footage to monetise not sure how big its got.
