I'm working on the definitive blogpost as well, but that'll be a bit. Feel free to spread it around.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if artists could actually make money from their art rather than by autographing snack cakes?

This is great! (Although you probably mean 'without affecting profit margins' in the heading for step 7)

I like that at 4:21, Frontalot's name is right next to his head, so you don't need a caption.
