@gkbhai And another thing - I want to buy this DVD, but they do not accept paypal, Google checkout is the only option I see on the site, what should I do?

@gkbhai Yes!!! This is exactly the idead I got!! If someone doesn't feel benefited, ok then, but if someone does then he/she would probably be glad to give something back and support creator of the movie, music or book. I'm sure we will get to this kind of relationships in time. And you don't have to wait for the DVD or Book to arrive. And material become accessible right away all over the world.

An alternative way of doing this is that people's works and expressions of creativity will be put out for free for all to enjoy and that those who feel benefited will be able to give back whatever they are guided to using paypal whether it's $1 or $100. That resonates more for me. These are times of change and all these paradigms and ways of exchange are going through changes as well. Thank you.
