I can has raccoon $$?

[eohartman]

The Cheezeburger Network is interested in buying the rights to one of my raccoon videos for $200. The money would be used for rehabbing expenses (for example, I just bought $230 worth of formula for this baby season). Is there any reason I should *not* sell my video to them?

I've just sent an e-mail to Cheezburger asking the following questions:
1) Can the contract specify that the video description must state that these raccoons are wild animals that are being rehabilitated and are NOT pets?
2) Can the video description link to my wildlife rehab website?
3) Is the $200 negotiable - can I get $250 instead?

I'll post the answers once they get back to me. Anything else I should be worried about? Cheezeburger Network is pretty animal-friendly, so I'm not too worried they'll use the video for awful things.

So if they own the copyright to your video, what does that mean if you then have it up on other sites? Will you have to put that it's copyrighted to them?

Good question! I'm not sure, but I will definitely ask them. Thanks! :-)
