Public arts grants funded by a TV license everybody pays. The original #crowdfunding!

Also, artists and creators of all kinds get ripped off by the media industries far more than they get ripped off by people giving away gratis copies of their work online. A classic essay on this:
https://www.negativland.com/news/?page_id=17
Respect for #ARRcopyright has never been a solution. What's needed is platforms like #crowdfunding and #BandCamp that allows fans to support the artists whose work they enjoy (more) directly.
"We are trying to find a middle ground, that we are calling ‘temporary copyright.’ Since we fall into the category of artists for this film, we are asking everybody to delay ripping this film. Allow us about 2 years of revenue, then let the world take the film."
http://commonsfilm.com/fair-use-creative-commons-and-this-film/
If you think people will respect that, why not just apply a #CC license right away, and just ask viewers to pay for a download, or buy a DVD or some other merch, or contribute to #crowdfunding the next film?
Facebook is trying to offer a really terrible Patreon-style service (which will take 30% of all income 😟 and permanent intellectual property rights to anything uploaded even if you leave the service 😱 ).
A number of people asked about free open alternatives. You might want to look at:

Any other suggestions?
♲ @Lumb@slime.dragon.garden: Hey y'all, I'm starting training for a new job this coming Monday, but I'm not going to be getting paid before rent and bills all come due and I was hoping if anybody's got anything they're able to spare, they could send it my way.
I'm also going to need to come up with almost $100 to cover getting licensed for work and to pay for the uniform (robbery if you ask me) on top of everything else, and I'm starting to get a little worried about all this.
Boosts are appreciated a whole lot also

@RandomDamage if you mean #crowdfunding isn't magic pixie dust, we agree on that. I think the solution is much more ambitious. See:

(knowing Cyrille's previous synths, his skills, ethics and overall ethos for hardware-and-sound, my bet is these are *excellent*...)
@cwebber @emacsen So when middle class "cool" kids like #AnitaSarkeesian start making money off laying into a nerd subculture, the angry backlash is disappointing, but hardly surprising. Let me be very clear, #GamerGate was horrific. Anita made plenty of fair points, and I think it's great she was able to support her work via #crowdfunding. But while from her POV she was a marginalized person attacking privilege, from the gamer POV she was using "cool" privilege to attack a marginalized group.
Given that I'm currently on track to finish my PhD in 2019, this is an excellent year to subscribe to the "Minim" level of sponsorship, because there will be a *lot* of sheet music.
Sponsor me for each new work on Patreon:

Or per month via my website:

Everytime I look at all the sites under the #CrowdFunding heading on my blogroll, I keep thinking there is scope for some detailed research on which if any of these have been effectively helpful to#FreeCode devs, #OpenHardware makers, or #FreeCulture artists:

@Goffi @LWFlouisa @wuhei like I say, I understand the frustration. It doesn't change the reality. This is why I've been focusing on #crowdfunding and #micro-patronage and #cooperatives for a while now. If everyone that uses anything that depends on #FreeCode put $10 a year into its development, that a huge pot of money! Imagine if we could pay free code devs well, and allow projects to employ as many people as they really need to fulfil their visions.
