Would your life really be better if video watching was a crappier more convenient experience? What if you took that money and scheduled a regular meetup with a friend at a indie movie house where you discuss the movie over coffee afterwords? I value intentional and rich experiences over convenient and therefore cheaper experiences. Some might argue that it's not an either or situation, but I'm lazy and know that I'd choose the convenient (and lamer) option if it required less effort.
Totally agree. The flip side is I've got a friend who as a company that has almost gone under just from the threat of a legal battle he can not afford to fight. Those things are time consuming and suck the life out of a person.
Thanks so much for the advice! I was really hoping to find out how common this type of arrangement was and if people were comfortable working under it. The posts I've seen have mostly focused on the legal aspects of it.
