"Giving them access to some films for free, can help make them fans, and bring the revenue when a feature is made?" But when you sell one copy of your feature, it ends up on the Internet for free, or worse yet, it gets copied by a lab and put up on the Internet before you even sell one copy. This has happened. The other thing about the pirated films on the Internet ... no bonus features. Same with Netflix downloads and Hulu. I love the bonus features. Peace, Rob:-] In answer to “C” above … “Giving them access to some films for free, can help make them fans, and bring the revenue when a feature is made?” But when you sell one copy of your feature, it ends up on the Internet for free, or worse yet, it gets copied by a lab and put up on the Internet before you even sell one copy.
