"The machine should not be conceived as a tool for economizing production—by eliminating as many workers as possible and stripping the rest of their creativity—nor as a means to imitate artisanal products. Rather, it should be viewed as an instrument capable of liberating humanity from the most oppressive physical labor, thereby enabling individuals to give form to their own creative impulses."
These words might well have been shared just a few months ago in the comments section of any post discussing AI. In reality, however, they encapsulate a reflection forged over a century of history and innovation. In his seminal treatise, Walter Gropius describes the foundational philosophy behind the Bauhaus school in Dessau—a perspective that remains strikingly contemporary, despite the relentless passage of time. Even today, it lays the groundwork for a deeper inquiry into the technology that surrounds us and has become an integral part of our lives.

The economics of starting a VHS distribution label almost make sense, really, and I bet I know enough weirdos from the #monsterdon community and associated communities that I could find some folks who would be pretty damn excited about the obscure releases we could put out.
Maybe offer a USB Video Disc option for people who don't want a VHS (and a como USB/VHS pack for people who want the tape but also want the good looking copy?)
Between films that are unambiguously in the US public domain and films that are *probably* in the US public domain, but nobody has been able to prove it one way or the other, I could easily put together a few dozen obscure releases that most folks haven't seen.
And that's without getting into the indie filmmakers I know who would probably want in.
