Does anyone have video of this moment from Division 2?
For whatever reason, it made us laugh at the time, it felt very silly/funny and I would like to have it handy. I don't remember the context, just "Holy shit, it's the PRESIDENT!"
Hi. I am surprised nobody has raised concerns for indie artists regarding the agreement or at least had questions or clarifications about it.
from the "Subvert Cooperative Form of Member Agreement (Artist)", a passage seems to imply that if the US government decides to tax the co-op in a particular way, and if the bill is too big for the co-op to cover, that all of the members will have to pay it out of their own pocket..
This seems like it could have the potential to be highly destructive to independent artists and individuals who do not have thousands of dollars to spare.
Also, making more sense is that the agreement contains a passage suggesting that a potential artist/member needs to consult their own accountant or legal counsel to review these materials. I imagine many independent outfits won't be in a position to do so.
The first screenshot/passage is the part I am concerned about. It seems to me that it means that someone who releases a couple of things at most and makes a small amount of income could be on the hook for an equal share of a massive tax bill out of their own pocket.
What is going on here? Does anyone have any clarifying insights or is it right to be concerned?
Should people be thinking of this more as a...co-operative business rather than an opportunity to have their work on a more ethical platform? (I do realize it is a 'co-op')
Thanks, be kind please, I was excited about this and am feeling risk adverse because I have to be.
