I'm sorry that you've had hard financial times. I could go into the financial straits my family and I have endured as well, but I don't think that's the point. I don't think the hardship of living out of a car is still any kind of justification that art is best served within commodity culture.
I'm not saying that YOU should remove your work from commodity culture. That's not my argument - you should do whatever you feel is right for your work and your life, and I completely respect that. I just take issue with the notion that asking viewers to pay the individual maker for online video is any kind of revolution or, ultimately, a viable solution. It's simply a philosophical disagreement - power to ya to do whatever is right for you. I just can't guarantee that I'll pay to watch your work. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "ractalfece" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > So I guess my point regarding Information Dystopia is that as much as > > I'd like to see artists better compensated for their work, whether > > through public funding or individual donations, as requested in the > > video, the disconnect from this larger history makes the call for > > compensation feel more like hubris than a revolution.
