Description

Stef Marsiske:

"some guys from the ccc propose a monthly 5 euro fee for all internet customers, which get an equivalent digital cash only to be given to registered works. all these works have a threshold which when reached frees up the work automatically under a free license. all unspent digital cash expires at the end of the year and is distributed among all registered artists." (fc forum discussion list, July 2011)

...

"Turning the flatrate into a voluntary system might make a lot more sense. People get a certain amount of their wages not in euros, but in 'culturos', which they can spend on any free culture product - directly rewarding the producer. Instead of some disengaged institution "redistributing" wealth to the head of the long-tail, people could directly decide what they want to support and possibly support more cultural producers on the middle of the long-tail. From a decentralization fundamentalist view, this is way more attractive." (http://www.ctrlc.hu/~stef/blog/posts/free_culture_and_economic_models.html)
