  • The reason I believe sequels are doing good is:

    1. movie theaters have been perverted into massive and expensive hype fests
    2. in strong opposition, past movie theaters were not expensive to go to and got you entertained in a social setting
    3. due to the rise of large chains, small and cheaper theaters have died out.
    4. assumption: the price to rent a movie for your theater will probably be horrendous by now
    5. sequels have kind of a known quality which lowers the hurdle
    6. that means new movies could be watched in smaller theaters and would have to be sustainable for those

  • Hi there! I see you‘re spitting thruth again.

    I have since gone with the programme for a couple months and developed some foss software, helped make foss software and tested some foss software.

    The general impression I got from it was: most of it is used without any reciprocity of any kind. The bigger projects get some donations and some also get code.

    But stomping new projects out of the ground is pretty much impossible that way because you will have to invest 100s of hours to test and program. Nothing you can do in a reasonable timeframe while having a day job and a life.

    So yes, I think especially for projects south of a certain size, companies should pay. Dual licensing was mentioned once. Something like agpl + commercial license if someone wants to use it closed source. I dont think it covers general profit seeking intent though.

    Have a good one.
