Ever see a fantastic view while watching TAR US? Well now you can license it from here https://rightsmith.com
There seems to be about a 8644 videos available for searching. You can search by location, season etc.
The price calculator doesn't seem to be working correctly on the web site - so I'm not sure how much it costs to license these video...
Very smart move by Profiles to get some payoff for all the footage they've shot in the last 17? years.

Ooo! That is pretty cool and definitely smart to get some extra money out of footage they already have. Though maybe it'll only be the HD footage starting with TAR18 at least. Even then that's a lot.
