Actually I was thinking that should be the content industry's next business model. People subscribe to torrent/content services. The services buy licenses for content. People download content.
It's almost the same thing as radio, the difference being that you have a copy.
- wmf 15y agoIf the service is affordable, it won't have what you want. If it has what people want it will cost $100/month. This is basically the Netflix dilemma.
- solnyshok 15y agohow about having "donate" buttons on torrent sites that would allow you to donate either to studio, or actor, or producer. That money would go to a offshore account where they would wait to be claimed by the cast or copyright holder. And the only condition for transferring money from this account would be to sign a carefully worded document that would mean that copyright holder agrees to such distribution model?
- creamyhorror 15y agoI've been wanting a service like this for anime for years. Instead of paying ridiculous import prices for DVDs without English subtitles, let overseas fansub watchers pay what they want, directly to the studio, anonymously. Admittedly this might discourage some buyers who previously imported DVDs from Japan, but I'd bet there'd be an overall net increase in revenue for the studios. Too bad it won't happen anytime soon.
