In the future I can see media going the way of Kickstarter.
Season 1 is free, high quality production. Season 2 needs to hit $10-20 million on not-Kickstarter, and if it passes they send you a novelty USB containing seasons 1 & 2 (as well as give it away for “free” on Netflix or a streaming site).
But it’s a lot harder to price gouge in under that model. The show Friends made literally billions of dollars, and that’s a hard sell for a Kickstarter model.
I dunno, the current system seems to be working. Kickstarter-style funding campaigns do happen for media, but I suspect that form of funding is too unstable for the major content producers to rely on.

Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

That would be much better IMO than copyright as now understood for both artists and society at large.
