Re: Nice.. I agree with you that bands/actors and everyone behind the scenes that contribute have to be paid, otherwise where is the incentive.
Because i agree to support the artists (my brother is an actor so i know first hand), I support them in a more direct manner by attending their concerts and going to the cinema to watch the movies. I go very often actually (im quite surprised myself) If the movie was so good and is worth watching over and over i will certainly buy the Blu-Ray, i have done so and will continue to do it.
Your notion that bandwidth is expensive is false. It can be if youre distributing 1000 feeds all from a server farm with several huge pipes (thats so 1990's/early 2000's). If you take on that logistical burden then it can be slow, cumbersome and expensive. ifyoure looking at it from an innovative point of view bandwidth is actually very cheap, if you are creative about it. Instead of feeding tousands of people from one link, distribute the cost of bandwidth to the end users, i.e. Bittorrent! Its simple.. doesnt the new BBC IPTV work on that principle? This is where higher upload speeds of individual users can really be an asset and not a liability to aid in propagating cultural media. IPTV will take off and people will make money off it. The only dependancy to my and many others' idea is creativity. |
