Geez, Fred. You wanna invest stock in Blockbuster Video while you’re at it?
BOTH of them are desperated! Not really the best condition for cooperation…
Looks like an “unholy” pact to me.
Although it seems foolish to explore a deal with Filmdump, perhaps Fred could use that as a negotiating point with Canister. Fred may be executing a brilliant tactic, here.
Hah, not a chance–this is Fred we’re talking about…..
You almost had me fooled there. 😀
Nooooooo! If the company goes bankrupt, they won’t have to pay you for all the work you put into it!
DON’T DO IT!
Hooray for desperation!!!
Huh, I don’t know where this is heading. Could be good, could be bad, but I’ll say this much: it’s got my interest!
Things may go well, or bad, or worse, depending on whose perspective you’re seeing things from… 😉
Seems like a bunch of clock-punchers in the comments don’t quite grasp that Fred isn’t considering becoming this company’s investor OR their employee. 😛
Fred has an infinitely duplicatable digital product he wants to sell to customers; Filmdump (whose literally crappy name might have something to do with their unpopularity) will just be distributing Fred’s movie to the customers. If they don’t sell it, Fred doesn’t make money, but he shouldn’t lose any money either.
Now, given that their company is rather precarious, and might not be there next quarter, I’d probably insist on some sort of a non-exclusive distribution rights clause… in short, that if they don’t or can’t sell Fred’s movie, he retains the right to find someone else who can. That should cover his ass.
…At least presuming he doesn’t already have such an exclusivity clause in his contract with Canister Pictures.
Hm. My only problem with that would be that if Filmdump releases Fred’s movie and then the company goes under, most likely no one else will touch his movie with a ten foot pole… So it might be kind of risky in that sense.
That’s true. Still, that’s a perception problem that could be (hopefully) solved with marketing/a really good sales pitch. Being contractually forbidden to sell your product, or you get sued out of your house (which is rather extensively occupied at the moment) would be a much more serious problem.
