But it's a one time production cost. Once its made, copies are free. Distribution is getting to be near free. It's fundamentally different from food.
What, exactly, are you hoping to get paid for? I don't mean that sarcastically, I really want to know. In an economic sense, what value are you providing? Entertainment has always made its money in one of four ways: by limiting access (theaters, concert halls), by selling physical objects (books, cds, paintings), by draping it in ads, or by pure patronage.
You've still got 3 out 4, and yet you're on here bitching just because someone told you how much money they're willing to pay you for one form of content delivery.
- lief79 17y agoThe exact same argument can be made for software, and anything else you can do on the computer. A few people are happy to create things for free, but those same people would generally prefer to be able to make a living doing what they love. I'm not expecting this to be new to anyone here, as most of these arguments have been on the internet for years now.
- skwiddor 17y agoWhere was I "bitching"? One time production costs are still costs. We're hoping to be recompensed for our time and effort and recoup our costs plus some profit to invest in the next film. It's how all business works. $5 a month is a very low number. I work in a cinema, your $10 to see a film just about covers cost.
