Yep totally agree. I publish some of my film works for free. It doesn't
affect the price people will pay for the publications that aren't free. In
fact in some cases people "toss in a bit more" because they want to do more.
And in just a few hours Suzanne (my wife's) first documentary will Debut in
the USA:
W GEORGE: A Weapon of Mass Distraction
I was showing it on a train the other day on the way back from the Supreme
Court and about 30 people gathered around to watch it and were really
complimentary - and that was before they realised it was connected to me!
