Really? That's partly a surprise, given the public nature of the BBC, yet also not a surprise, given the value of the airtime one gets, even with a lame duck of an idea.

Got a link/reference for this 5%? If not, how did you learn of this?

I don't have a link but I'm pretty certain I've read that elsewhere as well from a pretty trustworthy source. It's not terribly unreasonable, but does seem a bit....predatory(?)

I had a friend that had his company on "Shark Tank." The 5% can be either equity or just based off sales.
