Nina Paley released Sita Sings The Blues under Creative Commons because nobody was able to watch her film because studios like Sony Pictures passed her up. Roger Ebert called it one of his favorite films. It's a hilarious and moving movie that I wouldn't have seen if it hadn't been placed online.
Nina Paley isn't the Internet. She's an animator. But the Internet is where she released her movie. I'll also say that it's better than anything Sony Pictures has released in a long, long while. (sitasingstheblues.com for the interested.)
