Well for me that would boil down to 2 issues.
One is what exactly constitutes being a writer. If you just make your show up
as you go
along, theres no writing involved I guess. Are rough show notes considered
writing, or
only fullly scripted dialogue etc?
The other is whether unions make any

Most of the conflict in this dispute is directly related to the

relationship between traditional content producers and web content

Anyone else seeing how bloated the MSM is? They're paying their on air
talents who are suppose to be seasoned writers and comedians (Jon
Stewart, Jay Leno, etc) and get whole lot of money to do what they do
but they can't even hold their own when some writers leave.
Meanwhile some people in new
There is one major difference here in all this.
I do NOT 'need' Hollywood to distribute my video, audio or any other

don't want to associate with the studios or the unions, then I do NOT have
to. That is why there has

I don't think that's completly fair, I know for me, some of my best

writing is often a group effort. However, these stars get
substantially more money and credit for something that is a
group effort.

I think the online media world does itself a disservice by comparing
itself to MSM or seeing the potential of online media as related to
the relative health or relevance of MSM. The only thing the two worlds
have in common is that they can make and distribute images and sounds.

Hi Brook!
I think we do ourselves a huge disservice by not comparing and
contrasting to MSM. In five to ten years, maybe less, all media will
be consumed on demand and from a single portal. A viewer will not
