No, I don't offer plugins- I'm into "hard goods", retailing my self-published VHS tapes, so there wouldn't be any direct competition.
The content licenses I've offered to date has been for DV copies of the masters with them pulling whatever material from it they wanted, whether it was clips or caps. More work for them, granted, but it gives them more control over the derived work, I'm too busy gathering content and, hey, I'm pretty damm cheap.

you should get a substantial amount if you're going to do it. Figure out what it would cost them to duplicate what you've got.

There's a rub, some of the voyeuristic works I produce are extremely difficult to do and, what with the drift of recent legislation, becoming rarer on the market

Why not just let these people sell it for a %.

Right, but I have no idea what percentage. If someone was offering a plugin using my content, they're doing the grunt of the digitizing, design and promotion of the plug in, dealing with the web masters that carry it and the expense of the bandwidth bill. In other words, they're bearing the brunt of the work, time and expense- not to mention the risk.
So, I guess the question actually boils down to this: What is a reasonable working relationship between a content producer that is partnered with someone that is capable of selling the content...
