I think one thing that would help would be having a higher number of below $30 tiers that cost the maker little or nothing to produce.
I see $25-30 for a DVD/CD, and I'm like, no-this goes whether in a store or online. I go to the Family dollar & walmart a lot, it'll be in a bin eventually. If I remember the movie by then.
$10 for a digital download that I can keep, sold.
$5 put your name in the credits in a backers section.
$5 for a 30 day access to stream online, even that would be good.
Granted these are small 'rocks' but you can build a dang big wall with small rocks and get more eyes on the project too.
Do you actually read the books, or just sit there and count how many books you have?
I've got a CD with about a thousand books on it, each one either free legally or purchased for about 3-6 US Dollars. Maybe I should print them out on Tshirts. Then you can wear a book while looking at your books!
Avatar for 50$-Done as Pocahontas as a school play enjoyed it much more with no 3D headache, and having helped Captain Smith practice his lines. Enjoyed it immensely especially the pot luck after with no 20$ popcorn, but real food.
Star Wars for a few thousand-Here's the thing, Hamlet, and other tales by Shakespeare, The Seven Samurai and the like have been done by live performance and kids waving sticks in the back yard for hundreds of years. The only people that think special effects 'make' the movie are the people that produce movies for a living.
By hollywood thinking if I have a business selling apples delivered tree fresh to you by lear jet, then you can get apples no where else. Nuts to that.
It's too late now but what should have happened the very first time RIAA & MPAA screamed seach engines were not doing enough to remove finds for infringing content is just say "Sure no problem." then drop all mention of the 'content' from the results possible, or redirect them to the RIAA/MPAA person that made the request.
After all, who is more legal to sell the content than the folks skimming the top-um, watching out for the 'creators'.
Yes, yes, we want to make sure no one gets monies *yawn* evar. Look you have fun with the beating, the stick, and the horse, I'll be over there looking at cat pictures.
"If people really, really want the movie now, they can buy a copy at $15, rather than the pennies that the studio would see from a Netflix rental."
They can still buy a copy at $15 if Netflix is able to rent them or stream them out. The pennies of many many people who know they would not watch the movie enough times to make any DVD purchase appealing, such as myself, are being thrown away by the studio. Pennies that still add up to dollars.
What the studios are really doing is saying as soon as Netflix have it, the pirates do too and we make no more money from it. Which is just silly, when I've such movies they've had notes on the films like FOR ACADEMY VIEWING ONLY on them before they've even been in theaters.
Let Netflix pay the bandwidth, and do the bookkeeping, let me rent the movie online, otherwise the studio gets 100% of nothing, as I have better things to do than check a queue.
I was really disheartened by this. I used to gauge news service honesty by comparing regional tweets to news service coverage. Now, back to the big control group source of info unluss I can magically find out local IRC or something.
Sponsored tweets, silenced tweets, how long until 'modified or injected tweets'.
Re: Clarifying Question
The rights came from German digital rights, the laws of that country almost certainly won't match the US.

X-Gen Studios has something to say on this subject
Don't know if it's by X Gen or someone just did it for them, but they seem to think that Nimblebit may be a bit hypocritical...
