Some of your films are Public Domain - why do have to pay for these films?
There are two reasons. Firstly, as a well know business man once said, "you cannot put water in a can for less that 25 cents". It costs to create metadata, encode, host and distribute a film online and secondly, a film is made up of a bundle of rights so that even though a film itself may be in the public domain residual rights must still be paid to writers, actors, directors, music etc. We do try to charge the absolute minimum for these films.

How is Molotov Digital Limited financed?
