The Internet has triggered a war over digital media files which has caused the media industry leaders to try a number of different ways to save their business model. All tabletop miniature game companies should watch this situation with close interest. As 3D printing technology becomes common place, we will have a choice to fight this futile battle ourselves. Instead of joining this losing war, Kalidasia Media Productions LLC has decided to experiment with new business models. As of today, all of the source 3D files for the Kalidasia Miniature line are available for sale at a price you name. Pay $0.00, $99.99, or a number of different values in between. I will leave that up to you.
