Sita’s Distribution Plan
,----[ Quote ]
| “But Nina, how will you make money?” The way artists always make money:
| donations, commissions, grants, patrons, speaking fees. Indie distributors
| can’t pay anywhere near what it cost me to make the film ($80,000 + $50,000
| to clear rights + $160,000 living expenses over the years I made the film +
| my TIME) but they do lock up the rights for 10+ years. In the Digital Age,
| distributors function primarily as a barrier between artists and audiences,
| prohibiting access rather than facilitating it.

The Stick Your Head In The Sand Approach To Saving The Newspaper
Business
,----[ Quote ]
| Over the past few years, as the newspaper business got in
| deeper and deeper trouble, we seemed to increasingly hear
| some particularly clueless suggestions on how newspapers
| should save themselves -- almost always revolving around
| some sort of backwards effort to put the genie back in the
| bottle, such as by all banding together, violating all
| sorts of anti-trust rules and colluding to charge for
| content.
