I could make a case arguing most of that. At least as absolutes.

As far as the money thing, thats part of what I do all day. I make internet recommendations. I often pitch how people can do "domains, hosting, creating company, doing all registrations, paying for artists" with no layout of funds. Often in the area of creating other businesses on the net but it applies to this one also. It takes abit longer and more hands-on of course but its possible if someone really wants it.

And, Ive even seen projects share the responsibilities of item 2 successfully. Not many, but some.
