Lots of homework instead of a little, then :P I also got some from
Lovink, so the next week will be interesting.

How about geographically limited initiatives? In Sweden, Flattr has
reached a certain success rate, though I have still to hear it reach a
similar success rate abroad (word of mouth, probably). Micro-financing
schemes could lead to lots of initiatives connected to geographical
area (easy for consumers with small hassle), although that would make
it more difficult for artists to connect themselves to many schemes at
the same time (laborious and confusing for consumers). It's all
theoretical, I guess?
