Now we could go commercial. We could sell ads. We could sell subscriptions or memberships, We could sell t-shirts and hats. But the moment we do, we invite scrutiny and copyright lawsuits. Before going commercial we would have to scrub our archives of any possible copyright violations. And we’d have to tighten up our current operations to make sure no one posts anything that could get us into trouble with any publisher of stories, photos, images, etc. And with sharks like Righthaven swimming around, there will always be room for trouble. And going commercial still wouldn’t guarantee enough income to build and maintain a paid staff, bullet proof software, redundant systems, etc.
I am not saying I have all the answers- they would not have to scrub PAST archives, because they were free
A new paradigm might change that as a commercial site
But there has got to be more ways to raise mone. Contact Heritage Foundation and see how they raise millions- they are tax-free too, arent thay?
Stupid libtard sites like Salon.com have millions to play with- How abotu we all contact the Koch brothers and as them to kicck in a couple of million- then a little bit of ADVERTISIN?G Maybe...
I respect this site and JimRob’s integrity- the point I am trying to make is that this site is way too important - we ALL need to think of ways to keep it floating
