| Wow, internet download would be great but I can see from a business/copyright standpoint, this can be very hard to layout. Have you thought about putting your DVD's on i-tunes for video download? I'm not sure how much apple would profit away from you but it does seem very stress free because people would be able to download once.

As an overseas user of Homespun material I would welcome downloads. I already use downloads from the Lick Library site and am able to burn them to DVD. I have never tried burning off more than one copy so I don't know if they are protected. Lick Library don't do tab which is a drag so I would hope that pdf files of the instrument parts would be availableonlinee from Homespun.
Normally on most DVDs I only actually work on half the pieces so would cherry pick my way through my preferred tunes. I don't know if that has an effect on the economics of this method of preparation and delivery.
If there was a DVD of one of my 'stars' then I am still just as likely to buy it as there is something reassuring about having the actual physical product in your hands.

| I wouldn't like the streaming video idea as I would want to have my own permanent copy of the material to play either on PC or DVD. Now we have fast broadband I would prefer to simply download the present DVD's with a pdf file of the books. It would save on postage and I would probably buy more. It is a bit annoying when postage is free in USA but seven (!) dollars to Europe - with sometimes customs charges on top. I would prefer not to have usage restrictions, as while I can understand the commercial concerns about possible copying, I doubt if it would significantly impact on sales of this kind of material. After all it is not that difficult to copy a DVD or photocopy a book anyway. Regards, Tom

| Hey Happy and all. As far as downloading from Homespun being a good thing; yes for me it would be. There are times I want an immediate download of something and I would trust Homespun. Many times I find some music I am interested in online after I google search and it may be inexpensive but I have trouble giving them my credit card for just a few dollars since I don't know them. As far as the intricacies of how to set it up that's all yours. Whatever safeguards you have to put in place is yours to figure out. As you well know it will be abused if you leave all the gates down. The cows will get out. I'm not going to be mass producing anything and however you can get it from you to me would be fine. Homespun has a good name and personally I would love to know I could grab something quickly from you folks. Ron Morgan

A download option could be nice, but I would not be interested in a paid-for-streaming-video-lesson. I want to have the lessons available also when I'm not on-line.
About copy-protection on downloaded lessons: I don't think it would work. Most of these copy-protection mechanisms have been broken, so they are no restriction to the "bad guys", and they are often an annoyance to the "good guys".
And I don't believe the Homespun DVD's are encrypted, or are they? And I don't see them all over the Internet (although I haven't really been looking). Maybe Homespun clients are just honest people! (yes, that's naive, I know).
All in all, I think I would just continue buying the DVD's. Maybe buy/download one song from a DVD to check if it is right for me. But I wouldn't expect any discount when I buy the full DVD after that.
Tom

We've found the perfect solution to this!
Watch for an announcement about our new download service in the next couple of weeks. We'll start out with a small number of DVD lessons (about 20) but we hope to add to it to eventually include most of our catalog. This will be a safe, fast and secure - and less expensive - way to get Homespun DVDs, delivered to your desktop almost immediately.
Stay tuned.... We'll be letting you know about this soon.
Musically yours,
Happy

| This will be a new bonus for me like the mini-lessons and quick licks. If this can be on an ala cart system I'm realy on board. There are several tunes that I would love to have the lesson on, but I don't realy want the rest of the DVD that they are on. Not that there is anything wrong with the whole DVDs, it just personal taste. I can't wait to see what Homespun will make available via downloads..

For now these will be complete DVDs. We may make them available in other formats later on - say, by the song - but right now it will be an alternative to the hard copy. Savings, no shipping, instant gratification! What more could you want?
Musically yours,
