> How do you suggest we reinterpret? Should everyone get everything they want for free?

A Kickstarter-type patronage model would work: the creators of Game of Thrones ask for funding for a new series, then release it directly into the public domain.



We are seriously looking into that.

I don't believe it would be wise for movies.io itself to engage into business (and profiting from content we don't own would definitely be unethical, from my point of view), but what we could do is work with a third-party platform that allows the financing of small productions (Movies, TV shows), and have a partnership with us so they are featured / show up in our results etc.

Exciting stuff happening there with the right partners, please contact us if you have leads.


This will eventually be perceived as holding [Game of Thrones] hostage until there is enough money in their Kickstarter account.
