Default Anybody know anything about copyright and related issues?

Got this email:

Hello,

My name's Rob Kerr and I'm currently involved in recruiting short form
programming for BiteTV (www.bitetv.ca), a new interactive network based in
Ontario.

I just watched some of the Team Fishcake shorts for the first time and laughed
my ass off. I'm extremely interested in exploring opportunities for
broadcasting some of the comedy shorts produced by Team Fishcake.

Please let me know if this material is available for TV broadcast.

Thanks,

Rob
I emailed him back, asking what sort of stuff he'd want, and the T&Cs and he said:

Hi Mike,

We're interested in all of the material posted on the website. We can't promise
to use all of it but we'd like to get hold of the beta tapes or mini-dv for
further consideration.

More details regarding broadcast conditions (including the submissions release
form) can be found at:

http://www.bitetv.ca/submit.jsp


Thanks,

Rob
If you have a look at the submission form on their site - i've had a read through it and I don't fully understand it. What I basically need to know is

- Are we going to keep all rights to our material?
- Are there any more questions I need to ask?

Does anybody have experience with this type of thing?

Bear in mind this is a Canadian channel, and I'm in the UK.
