Augh.  Pain.  But thanks much for the prompt reply.

Now, for the potentially-stupid question: do they know that no one else 
is getting paid for interviews/commentary?  I'd assume that this would 
be the first point WB would trot out in their wheedling of actors for 
commentary, but one should never assume (especially with regard to suits).

Yep, that's pretty generally known.  It's really a matter of conscience, and as
such as far as I'm concerned off-limits.
