Re: Alex Cox defends sharing of his old scripts...
There are two ways that immediately come to mind for the Hollywood studios to monetize this system --
1. You can purchase a single shooting script for a flat fee. It's straightforward, but would be akin to the DVD/Blu-Ray model where buyers only purchase what they really want.
2. For $7.99/month (or $80/yr) you can join a virtual online library, setup by the studios, that has an expanding amount of scripts. You can view the scripts, however you cannot download/screenshot/etc them. This would be akin to the Netflix model, which would provide access, but the membership must be maintained. -- Scriptflix
While I know that scripts should be free, let's be honest the studios aren't going to let that happen. I could whip some up financials if there is any real interest.
