Appleyard will make 100 percent of the profit on the digital downloads...
^Somehow, I doubt that. Steve can't let him take it all, he's still so poor from all his bills and lack of money
On the topic of paying for videos, I'm fine with that. Paying for a single video part? Really? I hate how much Berra hits on how important it is that the skater never just release a part for free. I understand being rewarded for your efforts, but isn't that why pros get paid for what they do? It's part of the job description. If the part gets people hyped, they buy that dude's boards, and dude earns his money.
They're getting pros to release full street video parts online so that they can catch up to our web traffic. It makes no sense.
Actually, other sites release videos/parts for free because they aren't constantly trying to make money off their viewers. They're just trying to share quality skateboarding with the general public. Get your dick out of your mouth and stop thinking that everyone is trying to keep up with you.
Street parts are far too sacred to be releasing them for free online -- that's the bottom line.
They're so sacred that nobody should ever have a hard copy of them? That's the best part of owning skate videos... being able to hold them in your hands and put them in the vcr, dvd player, etc. Any time someone uses phrases like "that's the bottom line" or "the fact of the matter is" clearly shows they have nothing else to back up what they're saying and are declaring their opinion a fact.
Every time I hear or read something new about Berra it always involves him justifying charging people for everything. I'm sure it's a matter of time before you have to "donate" to the berrics to even have full access to the site. And like someone else said, I hate how he acts like he's so far ahead of people and being different.
