I think he is referring to footage taken during interviews with
you on previous UFO programs, either from the same production
company or another. Production companies rarely throw away 'stock
footage' saving it to use on subsequent programs if it suits
their needs, or to sell the right to use it to some other program
or network. Unless you specify differently in your release, your
video material can be used over and over by the owner of the
film/video stock. Most professional producers would character key
the footage on final edit to indicate that it was 'file
footage'.

Just to make a brief point here, and I know this is not going to
happen, but if you want to put the screws to UPN the best way to
do it in the short term is for all of the high profile UFO
investigators, those who get regular air-time, to refuse to do
anymore UFO related interviews without strict control of their
material, and cite UPN's 'unprofessional treatment of its
talent' as the reason. That means you want constant updates of
the video edit as it pertains to your segment of the program and
in the context of the program. But you can't whine to them about
it. Just tell them that's the way it is and move on. They'll go
along because they have to. Some executive producer and director
at UPN is going to suffer eventually because of it...because down
the road his/her name is going to come up for another special
(UFO or whatever) and the exec.pro's. and director's name will be
NOT considered because they caused trouble. Don't forget, the
exec. producer, director and most of the crew are hired on
contract to do each 'Special' and the producer (say Dicky baby)
doesn't need the heartaches the next time he/she puts together
another.
