Freely Distributed / Open Source Films

The basic answer to your question is that it takes a lot of energy time and passion to make internet content and a sane person would want some sort of return for that investment. Why on earth would creative people pour hours of thier lives into giving the masses of passive (not unlike the leech) internet content consumers a free ride.

Interesting. Sounds a bit like the job description for a position as a moderator :lol

I think it´s the same drive that lets people start work on short movies. To get things going, to make something for their portfolio. Or simply to have a vent for their creative energies?

I guess for the same reason anyone else pursues their passion/hobby, because they can and want to.

It is a fair point, but making movies of two hour duration to a professional standard takes all of those people who's names you see scrolling down the screen as you leave the theatre. In a word LOTS.
There is a reason that film budgets are in the millions...if not billions.

PS: Yes I usually wonder how the mods keep going with little thanks and much griping.
