You know, Boss, with so much always given away for free through this site, I personally don't think it would be unreasonable to also charge a couple of bucks for such things to recoup the costs of the work and keep this site going. Full shows, etc., are a lot of work to edit and package. If you were to cut out the shipping costs/issues (especially for international) and make each big project available as a digital download with electronic artwork, you could charge a small fee based on what it is or the length or rarity or whatever. (Smaller bits could still go into the Vault for free.)
Others would have to chime in as well about that willingness to pay, of course. No one here is flush. But IMO, $5 (as an example) here for a DVD or there for a CD 6-12 months later doesn't seem exorbitant or like it would kill anyone -- and people would always have the option not to buy something. You wouldn't pull in a million like Louis CK did, but for the cost of a specialty coffee, each of us would get some cool material once or twice a year, while you guys would get, in aggregate, help to cover hosting fees and such.
That's my 2 cents anyway. Would such a thing sound reasonable to the rest of you guys?
What our Flagmistress says. A few bucks here and there would be a small price to pay for the gems offered. My 2 cents.
I've been gone so long I've forgotten what my avatar is...let's see...
Edit: ahahaha holy crap it HAS been a long time. :p
