¨Strayform was founded by Brandt in 2006 for the promotion of a society with a more open, forward looking exchange of ideas. Strayform is community where artists and fans can thrive with no DRM, no commericals and no corporate middle-men. Fan funded proposals let artist get paid without giving up a big cut, without blowing money on ads, and without long term restrictive contracts. Since the Artists are paid up front and the Media is Creative Commons licenced, fans can use freely on any device and share on Peer to Peer networks.¨

Strayform.com is a completely new way to look at music websites and networks. The members do not value glitz and money and are involved in creating new forms of art and music without the help of ¨popular¨ networks and big business. Members have cool profiles and can donate money to support a project started by other members. This provides an inclusive and supportive vibe to the site.

Can this site become popular without losing its relaxed and grass-roots vibe? How do the users continue promoting their project once the project is finished?

| If you pull the stem off a red apple and call it a tomato; its still an apple. So goes the same of (your words) "cut out the middle man" of VC's of PE's in raising capital for any variation of entertainment/media finance. Bummer how the raising funds article in Variety.com shows an unreceptive results overall from professional investors.www.GlobalCrossroadsCapital.com | ||

| Donating money and investing are two different things.Any time you advance money with an intent seeing profit return (ROI); that is a share that requires registration associated with lawyer costs.See our "Types of Funding GlobalCrossroadsCapital.com doesn't do"found on groups.myspace.com/UFOFIN | ||

| Thank you for the great post. It looks like the poster really went deep to understand what we do. Strayform is about transforming the digital media system from passively receiving some product from a middleman in closed system to being a part of the creation process working with the producer in an open system. The other features, the social network, the digital media library, the proposal widgets, the licensing module, etc.. are all to support this core process. We have many new features planned and look forward to working with y'all to make world of digital content. | ||
