Thanks for the feedback guys, but I doubt Ill be able to build this. The FOM want double digit million dollar licensing fees per year on top of a double digit share of the profits. I shouldve expected that really; the FOM will do pretty much anything if you throw enough money into the pot. Im going to look into VCs and crowd funding to see if maybe I can raise it, but the numbers theyre asking for are really high.
Anyway, I suppose I can build something that includes pre-1981 F1 content in the meantime. And I could look into adding other series as well.
Cheers.
@roald, right now Im trying to fight battles that I can win. If I can get this up with 2000-13 then itll be a start. From there I can build on the relationship and get more, there are multiple ways I can leverage this, but I have to be careful not to push too much. But that’s definitely the plan.
Hey guys, thanks for the feedback!
@harsha, those are great ideas. I’ll look into those. It would make access control and management a bit trickier though, but I’ll see how it works out.
@fastiesty, Ill have to play around with the pricing models to see what works.At present, Im going to put up practice and qualifying sessions wherever available and include those in the whole package. In many cases its just the race that I have (for now, but Im still digging) and I only have as far back as ’85. My goal is to go as far back as the 50s (if footage even exists for those races) and basically have a massive archive of F1 races available to everyone. Its only streaming though, not downloadable, the FOM wont give me rights for that.
Thanks @blockwall2, but the question I have is would people be willing to pay for it? If I build it in the same model as Netflix and lets say charge the same, $8/mo, would that actually interest people?
Yeah @fastiesty I expected to get shot down, but they’re open to the idea.
Thanks, those are good ideas, I’ll reach out to them too. All I need is one domino to fall…..
