At first they only offered a tiny pittance for designers who's art they printed on t-shirts. Now they offer $2000 per design plus bonuses for reprinting, etc. Over the years it has also produced several designers who used Threadless as a place to garner attention and build their resume. Just like Threadless, I don't see Current hanging onto really great producers for long. However, I can imagine a lot of underprivileged, underfunded, producer savants that don't have the means of going to a J-School, getting their break at Current in the coming years. Charles,

So they hire young people eager to get in the business for peanuts and retain all the rights to their pieces, making money by selling it on multiple platforms. So maybe with Current News creating more content, they can pay their producers a living wage. Just the two cents of a disgruntled professional.

It should be pretty cheap to get a TV channel on the satellite cable networks and Dish should think about making it easier. They should just add revenue sharing where the percentage starts at 90% in their favor and ges down with volume. For example, the livestreaming players could use this for their popular broadcasters. @5, Very cool. Never heard of them before @8, shut up, dude flies around in leer jets. Take your exaggerations back to drudge I think this is great: online uploading of content with TV-based (non-interactive/ relaxing) consumption.

Maybe Gore doesn't know his audience? The truly faithful should know that the Goreacle commands them to stop using their CO2-emitting TV set and get back to subsistence farming... or better yet, stop exhaling!
