But it is really is very little different than for a film producer. Both fundamentally have people time costs being the biggest expense, both have resource rental companies and ongoing support costs second. Both have some content creators willing to take that risk. But this is only one kind of bounty. The other is from a patron, who offers up front to pay X for Y. I’m sure there are other approaches as well. Nothing is perfect, but models are emerging that are worth exploring. — Christopher Allen [via iPhone]
