Otherwise we are just creating puppet shows in our back yards that no one will ever see and that we will never make any money from. We need “win win” deals that are good for everyone that can support at least a producer’s costs of living.

I hope the Babelgum deals are all that and more.

Instead of spending 40 million per year for 4 year with no viewer they could spend this money for equity in Dailymotion.. They only raised 35 millions $ at this time and they have 60 million uniques.
