Artists Unchained Donations Page

Artists Unchained is an artist led initiative to: harness the features of P2P to empower artists to distribute media direct to the public, to ensure artists retain full copyright in their work, to always give artists an alternative to signing restrictive contracts, to allow the public to enjoy artwork without paying up front, to allow the public to support artists via direct patronage.

War Chest

The site, domain registrations, and hopefully the bandwidth are already covered, so why do we need a war chest?

The War Chest will allow us to;

Fund open source teams who support our aims and who can provide the infrastructure we need. While this AU initiative can run on existing software and infrastructure is could be a lot smoother.
Pay for art, coffee and beer.
We can purchase adverts in traditional media to really cause a stink (and would be a lot of fun, and hideously expensive). 'The Artistic Revolution' ad campaign, perhaps something cheesy like 'blipverts' that flash the web address.
There is also the small possibility that someone out there may really dislike the idea of what we are doing here and wish to silence us. Resisting may cost money (though we are loathed to give cash to a lawyer).
We'd like to lobby governments to change the laws, and help them to see the benefits supporting our initiative would bring to society (may have to print stuff up all glossy like, Politicos aren't always net savvy).
Take on the big ISPs and stop them from throttling P2P traffic.
Basically: talk back to the man, and re-balance the system.

Your cold, hard earn cash will support Artists Unchained in fighting the good fight and taking this memeplex to the masses. It's a complete folly, and utterly hopeless, but we are going to do it anyway. Never know, maybe this system is the one that works where so many through out history have failed!

It can't remain this way forever, sooner or later it has to change. It must change.

Peace.
