I'm just trying to figure out what would motivate me to pay to put content on
Ambisonia.

As an occasional content producer on Ambisonia and free Ambisonic software
producer, I guess I'm not representative of the target audience for Ambisonia.

My personal position is that as I already invest a lot of time on Ambisonics,
why would I now have to pay for something I don't expect to make money with (my
own compositions) or that puts me in a grey zone in terms of rights ownership
(clients that I record) if I later receives money for it.

For example, if Aaron Heller receives money through Ambisonia for the
unspecified American west coast symphony orchestra recordings he's putting on
Ambisonia, will that put him in a position where he'll simply not publish those
recordings anymore?

Also, if people have to pay to put content, they'll think they're entitled to a
certain level of service.
