Here's a fucking clue. If you think this model can be successful. Go pitch it to the SBA, or your local bank. As them for a business loan. Explain how you are going to offer everything for free, especially the part about things you do not own the rights to, but somehow still turn a profit.
Once they are done laughing in your face, go sign up for say.... Business 101, and Economics 101. Learn how BUSINESS is fucking done.
How this online industry has survived with no business sense is beyond me. However, that is what you get as a result of the bar being set so low. Ignorant motherfuckers thinking that giving away for free, content they do not own the license to, is somehow a successful business practice.
It's a fucking joke.

did you even read the article.
The only way you could come to the conclusion you just spouted was if you stopped reading at the title.
The impact of wanting free comes from the audience, the article talks about the ways you can meet that demand and still make money. I have gotten over a dozen bank loans for different ventures based on giving away content for free. Tube sites make money right now by giving content away for free , by selling the eyeballs that consume the content for free (that was just one of the examples they gave)
