I have this discussion all the time on DP, and some other WM sites. If you are going to be in the online game, you need to run everything like a business.

No handshakes. No back alley or ICQ crap. You have it in writing and signed. I know when I have sold/licensed content. It is very clear on how material can be used, including tube sites, and even transfer of ownership should their business go under.

Friends is friends. This is business.
