"For (b) (1) where an end user pays directly for video services on a title-by-title basis (e.g., where viewer determines titles to be viewed or number of viewable titles are otherwise limited), royalties for video greater than 12 minutes (there is no royalty for a title 12 minutes or less) ..."

I wonder how they came up with that 12 minute figure. I mean a half-hour lecture doesn't make you Hollywood, nor does a 10 minute long short film mean you're an amateur. How long is a standard US half hour TV show minus adverts and credits? Or did someone do a survey of adult sites to see how long the clips were?
