The ink disappears if you don’t pay your subscription fee.

It’s amazing libraries have managed to stay true to their goal and not charge membership fees. Should authors be getting residuals on every read of their book in the same way every Netflix play of a movie pays an actor???

The movie industry would cease to be an industry otherwise. It would become all indie movies, Cannes and the like and maybe some state sponsored propaganda. So no Spiderman or X-men for you, just movies about real life, Sweedish movies about the super rich getting marooned on an island after a storm and ending up at the mercy of the housekeeper.

Uhm, that would be great. Not having my Cinema filled with comic book (or whatever the flavor of the decade is) trash but quality passion projects from people that actually care about art sounds amazing. And most money would go to actual artists and not faceless mega corps.

TBH, I'd see that.

This movie is about to get hackernews'ed ;)

The residuals for whatever service will stream it are going through the roof. Funded. Get ready for swedish marooned family part 2!!!!

Did not realize that; I think you likely know more about movie economics than I do. Why only movies about real life? (or said swedish maroon stories)
