| Description: | In writer Marshall McLuhan's global village, a lot of kiosks and corner stores of creative output are dwarfed by the megalithic big box stores. Luckily, the same media that have globalized the reach of creative output also provide the tools to even the pitch on which producers of all sizes play. From independent filmmakers, musicians, and authors to the open source and Weblog communities, there has long been a push to advertise and distribute material on the Internet, and usually at much lower cost and less restrictive terms than more commercial content. |
