"It's always heartening to come across new ideas for ways to make
creations more widely available to the public while allowing artists to
benefit. Here's one from the German film director Fred Breinersdorfer,
probably best known for his film 'Sophie Scholl'. In an article that
appeared recently on the newspaper site Süddeutsche.de (original in
German), he complains about the fact that searching online for his film
throws up plenty of unauthorized versions, but precious few authorized
ones."

I've been saying this for ages.  Excellent to see this proposal getting
an airing!

Share and enjoy,
