I also think an aspect that's important in the whole copyright deal is how much media you actually have on your site from a particular place. That's why I will examine it on this page. I will use my site, The Phenom, as the example first. It includes pictures from Undertaker's 10-year career in the WWF and is my largest site. This might get tough to follow, so just hear me out.

 

As of Feb 8, 2001, I had 1326 pictures of UT in my galleries. Knock off about 50 or so for non-TV shots (out-of-ring, outside magazines, etc.) so make the number 1276. I'm sure it's more but I'll just work with that. Now let me break it down for you to the percentage of media I have from the WWF on this site regarding Taker.

According to Sony, there are approximately 30 frames per second of film.


Undertaker has been in the WWF for appx 10 years so that's where I will begin my count.

I will estimate and say there have been approximately 480 episodes of RAW is WAR (there might be more) @ appx.1 hr 15 min of show during Taker's tenure. And, on average, there's 4500 sec per show. Even though I'm positive UT hasn't been in every frame of every of the shows, I will count the entire show. So taking that 4500 seconds, multiplying by 30 frames/sec and then by 480 for the episodes I think have been on TV, you get 64800000 frames of film shown on RAW is WAR and Warzone.


Do the same process above for 120 episodes of SD at appx same amount of time on TV and you get: 4500 sec * 30 frames/sec * 120 epidodes =1620000 frames

 

And for PPVs:

About 8 PPVs per year (on average), average 2 hr 30 min, meaning there's about 9000 sec per PPV. Take this 9000, multiply by 30 frames/sec, then by 80 PPVs (8 PPVs on average and 10 yrs of Taker) = 21600000 frames

So, in all, I have as a ballpark figure about 88,020,000 frames of film. I have 1276 in my galleries, after knocking some of it out. Now, divide 1276 by 88,020,000 to get your percentage. You get that I have used 0.000014496705%of this in my site. This is one one hundred-thousanths of the WWF's media concerning Undertaker's tenure in the WWF.

And the number would be much, much smaller if I also took into consideration the WWF's other media besides these few shows. There has been LiveWire, Superstars, and Saturday Night's Main Event. And if I were to incorporate numbers from even the WWF media holdings before Taker, the number would be so miniscule it would be ridiculous.

 

 

 

Regarding my other sites, even though I have a good many smaller sites, they would still yield small percentage numbers. I don't want to go into every site, because it's trivial, but I will do my two larger sites: Chris Jericho's and the Dudleys.

 

Dudleys (arrived appx. 9-1999)

224 total pics (as of 2-8-01)

Since WWF tenure, amount of shows that could possibly be participated in (as of 2-8-01):

Appx. 16 PPVs @ 9000 sec/PPV * 30 frames/sec = 4320000 frames

Appx 69 RAW is WARs @ 4500 sec/show * 30 frames/sec = 9315000

Appx 69 Smackdowns @ 4500 sec/show * 30 frames/sec = 9315000
