It's not about raises for undeserving writers. It is about getting paid for content that is distributed over the internet. Similar to how musicians and songwriters make their money from royalties, television writers make their living from residuals. The same way a songwriter gets a fraction of a cent every time a copy of their song is sold on iTunes, the TV writers would like a cut of the money that will start flowing as TV distribution continues to move toward digital distribution.

It's plain and simple desire to get a cut of the money they are making for their bosses. They got fucked with DVD and VHS so I can't blame them for wanting to be paid for the soon-to-be lucrative digital market.

I have never torrented so many old shows as I have been lately

I support the Networks in all this. Sorry for being the odd man out on this, but I think the Networks deserve all the money they can get.

Fair enough, but I think that the creators of the material should also get a cut. I may be biased since I've done work in the industry, but it's hard enough to make a living with your boss deciding not to cut you in on the profits. It's obviously a two-way thing. Without big studios it's hard to reach a huge audience but as you can see with the reality-show aftermath of every dispute, you have nothing worth producing if not for the people creating the shows. People deserve a cut if their creation makes the distributors millions.

/ok sorry for the threadjack but this was a worthless thread anyway Actually, this guy does a good job explaining things.

Every week one ROM or Radio will get voted out of the house until in the end they are stuck with WM 5.0 or 2.08 and 1.40.

Even better idea for a reality based phone show...

Let's make it like Survivor.... CDMA vs. GSM.... Sprint Mogul vs ATT iPhone...

I can just see the smug faces of the iPhone bunch as they opine about the great interface, web browser, sexy looks, etc... but can't get crap done quick enough during the competitions since the Sprint data network blows away ATT
