Wel I am a fan of unions in general. I just think there will be some growing pains if they try to apply this stuff to net video prematurely, especially as there is currently so much hype about internet video $$ which doesnt match the reality for most.
So I do look forward to the day when unions get in the way of someone exploiting people whilst making lots of money, but do not look forward to the day that some small player with no money gets bullied out of this sphere by unions.
