I understand where you're coming from... but thinking that the VOD company takes a huge percentage and just takes all of the money is not a fair assessment. There are three parties that take a cut out of this... actually a lot more, but we will say three.
The producer. You. We'll say you get 25%, for an example.
The affiliate. Traffic. Without them, nobody makes money. They get 25%, for this example as well.
The backend. The VOD company. They get 50%... but do they really? Marketing (where do the affiliates come from), hosting, editing, programming, system administrators, etc., etc., etc.. The overhead is huge.
None of the parties can work without each other. It is a symbiotic relationship... if you will.
