I was at home on Sunday morning watching television. It's a usual occurrence that has now become habit. Usually, I watch news, but I happened to watch some movie reviews. The movie review that caught my eye, and ears was Sita Sings the Blues. It's a multi-cultural animated movie that delves into love and something. I didn't really pay attention to what they were talking about. The part that did grab my attention was that the movie is open to every who wants to watch it. No need for a major distributor; the movie can be downloaded or viewed online. How? The movie uses a Share Alike License that allows multi-sharing.
Instead of finding the movie in Art Houses and indy coffee shops, the movie can be found on a website for free (or donation- which I highly recommend). By using this form of license, instead of a DRM, the movie is open to any person who wants to view it. I am actually going to watch it. If the people involved put so much effort in giving the movie to the audience for free, I have an obligation to watch it.
