[spectre] Call for submissions: Artist Commissions for Fusion Expo

[Hans Bernhard | UBERMORGEN]

its a fucking good business model!
years ago i  made a calculation, you just need to have enough paying participants.. its basically like a casino functions, you create a competition and take  a cut, but the competitors pay with their own money, lottery style, poker tournament,, hahaha.. 
although probably not big enough, otherwise the mafia would have taken over the market already..
hasta la vista bilbao
