for something to sustainable, it has to be able to be repeated over and over again. until then, it is a nice one off, similar to the old radiohead ‘give what you like’ model, which remarkably they have not gone back to. a sustainable model would be when they have about 100 shows in the can, have done this process over and over again, and have always seen similar results. Second, and just as important, a single event is not a sustainable model. in fact, fronting it this way would be someone dishonest. if the bulk of the money comes from one guy (say mark cuban gives $19,950, and one other guys mother gave the other $50) then there is no indication that the model works. Perhaps they’re not interested in collecting money from each person that downloads, why should that matter.” – wow, two wild points here.įirst, the donations are important. “Who cares who made the donations, the point is that the business model is sustainable. The other part of course is “is the sustainable”? the cute factor of doing it once is nice, but are people going to routinely shell out for more episodes? will that 1 in 4000 people be willing to be a sucker for everyone else to watch for free? Collapse replies (8) Reply View in chronology it is sort of like putting some money in a tip jar to start, so people know to give a tip. What is more likely is that they either got a few very large donations, or spiked the donation pile up front to make it look like they were getting more donation money, to try to encourage donations. that is a pretty high number overall, especially with the minimum donation being a fairly high amount (close to the average radiohead claims they got for their album download). The numbers are also pretty weird: 450,000 downloads, and at $5 a donation, they would be getting 1 in 4000 downloaders to donate. the amount of downloads is also remarkable (and if true, a clear indication of the widespread potential for damage on other material that violates copyright). if they got $20,000 $5 at a time, they would be crowing about how many people donated. no disclosure of number of donations made. “Do you have any reason to doubt the numbers” – yes.

But it is an example of this sort of model working, and there’s certainly no indication that it can’t or won’t scale.įiled Under: bittorrent, crowdfunding, funding, pioneer one, tv shows And, yes, $20,000 is definitely a very low budget. So it’s a perfectly reasonable business model to try to sell the creation of new content, which is exactly what the producers here have done successfully.Īnd, to cut off the expected usual crew of Hollywood defenders in the comments, no I’m not saying that all TV shows/movies/etc. However, content not yet created is scarce. This is one of the more complicated scarcities for people to understand: content, once created and released to the world, is infinite. It’s a recognition that the first episode is the “pilot” and the scarcities that are being sold are the creation of more episodes. This isn’t a “give it away and pray” sort of deal. Zubin Madon alerts us to the news that in just about a week, the producers of the show have hit their goal of raising $20,000 to produce the next batch of episodes. On top of that, it appears that people are donating.

While some people insist that BitTorrent users never download authorized content, after the show was released, it quickly became a top download beating out lots of more “famous” competitors. You may have seen the recent stories about the “TV show” Pioneer One that was made with the plan all along to release the show on BitTorrent, and to set up a tiered system to fund future episodes.
