Licensing is becoming more complicated. It’s not always obvious when a certain kind of usage will require you to buy extra rights to a piece of music or footage. As more cross-marketing connections are forged across boundaries between broadcast and cable (think promos made for NBC that are destined to show on MSNBC or CNBC as well) or theatrical and home entertainment (such as a theatrical trailer that’s also slated for inclusion on DVDs from the same studio), it becomes more important to think about all possible usages of your project as you negotiate the licensing deal.
