Fedora Media Project (was: Re: New Member introduction)

[Jeremy Hogan]

I think it's a neat idea. Along the lines of what Magnatune does in allowing
you to pay back whatever you want the artist to have over the price.

At the very least, you could have the media listed here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/OnlineVendors and explain that
you were  distributing some of  what you could be charging in mark-up back
to the community that created it.  Perhaps you could just statically set the
price such that for every purchased copy, another one was available to Free
Media or under the SponsoredMedia project, and make a pretty simple and
powerful move. You'd be able to fulfill the on demand orders as an
OnlineMedia provider, and spool up the donation fund to be able to queue up,
etc. I forget the pricing in your example, but IIRC you could just set that
as the price, and a $12 DVD would fetch a copy for the buyer and another for
free.

Word would travel pretty fast in a one for one deal like that, and any other
vendor is still free to pony up support the way you have, and no one is
given special treatment.
