It's powered by letting financial accounts REPRODUCE, creating "children" accounts, grandchildren, and family trees, inheriting many options, services, and restrictions. Account owners can then create irrevocably restricted accounts that can be allowed to circulate publicly in clickable form, without intrusive security. One result is a mass-sponsorship system that lets anyone, anywhere, any time purchase hundreds or any number of prepaid copies of a story or art they like, include their own personal message if they wish, and distribute a "smart URL" (the clickable account without encryption), letting anyone share it further. Anyone can click to download free, no registration required, as long as prepaid copies remain; and anyone can click to purchase more prepaid copies and add their own personal message, using a conventional shopping cart. DRM and piracy will both be unnecessary if sponsors make enough free copies available; and good investigative articles will have friends. This is a free and open-source project, looking for collaborators. Here’s an odd idea for funding digital artists (including investigative reporters).

First, this model was based on an imbalanced set of intentions between newspapers and their funders. “Best Buy isn’t particularly interested in subsidizing the Baghdad newsroom – they’re paying for it because they don’t have other options” for reaching the public through display ads. Newspapers were able to systematically overcharge for advertising space because there weren’t many other options for advertiers. [...]

Only 6% of readers said they’d pay to support that work, which the Rocky staffers took as a signal that their work was unappreciated. But that figure wouldn’t have shocked anyone in public radio. In that space, 6% support is quite good, not evidence that a model needs to be abandoned. We may need to reconsider how to support news around such models.” [...]

They just didn’t have any other good choices.” Doch nicht nur die Werbekunden, sondern auch die Nutzer, stellen zunehmend die Bündelung von nicht zusammen gehörenden Inhalten zu einem Gesamtpaket Zeitung in Frage. Interessantes dazu auch bei digitalpublic und Ethan Zuckerman. [...]
