Alternative ways for artists to make a living

Alternative ways for artists to make a living

Hi kids.

Well, sorry to those who have already gotten the information, but here's for the others:

I'm starting this week a discussion/brainstorm on alternative solution for artists to make a living in the context of more and more artistic content being put on computers. And shared around with nothing getting to the artists. Even if the guy that got a free copy really wants to support the artist.

So far the way that the corporate bastards have found seem pretty inadequate: DRM, sueing random Joes for 100s of thousands...

I think we can come up with better :)

So I invite you to join THIS DISCUSSION LIST. And to have a look at the associated wiki page (that's a bit empty obviously).

Hoping to see you taking part in the talk.

I'm available at all time for technical questions, through the channels you can find at http://sitarane.mp

If you have some friends that are confronted to this issue, or are just loud about all that sharing / free speech / open source / society mumbo jumbo, forward this to them. It can't hurt.

Julien

PS: I'm in Lyon, France all next week for whom it may be interesting...
