Re: Home streaming is killing..
"But always time limited, since if everyone pirates the content without paying for it no one has the money to make new content."
Actually actors enjoy acting and the feeling of being noticed, before people paid to watch them there were always exhibitists more than willing to perform for free.
There are plenty of amature dramics societies along with school plays etc that do not feel the need to dip into everyone's pocket. Fan films are increasingly compariable with the "professional" products since computer generated content and control has reduced the cost of sets, effects and editing.
The reason for the high cost of movie production is all the hangers on inflating the price, if the cost was only what it took to make the film then it would be cheap enough for anyone with an internet connection to watch without promoting other freeloaders from profiting by copying
Summary: there will always be exhibitionists, professional finish is now cheap, removing the overhead will not prevent anything other than the sanctioned or otherwise promoters from having to actually work for a living.
Check out "Kung Fury", could be said to be equal to marvell productions and I contributed to it's production because the producer was genuine
