Today's question: what the hell can we do to come up with something
big content producers will feel able to release under an actually free
licence? Something they can feel safe to relax control on? If we can
get one, we can get more. What can we do to get that first one?
Well, what about finding something that would be almost worthless for
them, yet quite a bit of a help for us. What I'm thinking of is for
example still shots from video footage. The video itself might be
worthwhile, but what use is there in rights on a single frame? Perhaps
one or the other broadcasting company might be swinged to grant us such
a right.
Another thing could be getting a "free advertisement" as the "what's
in
it for me?" part. Make a medium quality (or low quality) version of an
image free, but force that you are mentioned, and make this mention such
that it refers to a page where you sell a high-quality version/the full
series/the video it comes from.
This seems an obvious advantage for content producers, but it doesn't
work so far. I did suggested that to some organisations, but either the
organisation is too small and cannot afford to manage the legal
implications, or they are big enough so that the extra publicity is
worthless to them. Potential *paying* clients find them anyway.
Or may be some other reasons I don't know.
