How long would something remain an exclusive to the Star for? 5 seconds before it is on youtube and every other form of media is carrying the story as well. The Toronto Star may want to purchase the video, but they are in no position to be spending a large amount of money on the video, there is no financial gain to be had. Even if they did have more people purchase a single days worth of the paper that ran the story, how much would that net them? A couple thousand dollars would of papers and maybe a couple hundred in ad revenue for people who want to see the video online or read the story on the Stars website... in other words a minimal amount of money would come to the Star if they purchased the video.
