Today's question: what the hell can we do to come up with something<br>big content producers will feel able to release under an actually free<br>licence? Something they can feel safe to relax control on? If we can<br>
get one, we can get more. What can we do to get that first one?<br></blockquote></div><br>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.
<br><br>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.
