p2pnet - rss feed: Full-length indie movie on YouTube
p2pnet.net news:- Would you pay $3 for a DRM-free feature length movie playable on your portable, or $8 for a 1.54GB M4V at 864×480?
Maybe for the first, but eight bucks seems like a lot for the second, even if you can preview the whole thing on the likes of YouTube before coughing up.
And a DVD goes for $20.
The options are part of a four-item package for Arin Crumley and Susan Buice’s Four Eyed Monsters, being promoted by Spout, a company already peddling Hollywood releases like Narnia at $24.31 or Crash at $11.49, and sold through b-side.
Good idea, but on the face of it, IOHO the Four Eyed Monsters effort seems a lot like indie musicians trying to get corporate record industry rip-off prices for downloads which should be going for a lot less.

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!
