Copyright is increasingly challenged as a remuneration channel for creators. Given massive increases in storage space, bandwidth and interconnectivity, this situation is not likely to change. We think this means that strategies should be examined looking beyond copies and copyright as sources of revenue for artists. We made STEAL THIS FILM 1 and 2 to try to explain this position.

VODO’s aim is to provide a revenue stream for creators of media content, in a world in which the systems for distributing, copying and viewing that content are cross-territorial, rapidly changing and difficult to predict or control.

If the architecture we are working on proves workable, we will be able to let consumers of media shared through P2P networks make voluntary donations to creators. Our aim is to combine a series of technologies to smoothly connect would-be donors to creators wherever their works are shared.

If you want to know more, we encourage you to look at VODO, The Long Version.
