Licensing Video Clips with Warner Brothers

Still no word back from Warners Brothers about my request to use the clip from the Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. It's been almost a week now and I am getting ready to make a call over the the licensing department. I wish this process was digitized so it would take a lot less time. Having to fax in the request seems a bit outdated.

Licensing with MetaCafe?

I tried this same licensing experiment again with MetaCafe. Apparently you can license clips on their site. It doesn't give any information on the site about licensing User-Generated content but forces you to email an address for producers rewards.

I emailed them about this clip on wednesday and still havent heard back. There has to be a faster way to do this if I really needed the clip.
