They don't have an obligation to independents at all, but they're being massively stupid for missing out on opportunites to take on serialized content that has establushed communities that are alpha-recommending products and services left and right. Networks miss out, content creators miss out, time is wasted, common sense goes by the wayside. Both sides are hurting in their own ways with inprecedented losses and/or difficulty finding revanue. Frustrating to the max, considering it doesn't have to be like this. Being compared to cat pissing on toilet videomakers is ego-related, but it certainly doesn't help the situation to be seen by so-called "tastemakers" this way.
So yeah, they don't owe us anything, but it doesn't make the siutation any less absurd. A guy from the Annenberg/USC presented here yesterday, and says the way hi surveys are going, it seems that people will save TV for large events like the opening ceremony of the Olympics and other things that people want to see in full view, everything else is fair game to be mobilized and will be increasigly viewed that way. Teenagers are already watching full feature films on iphones willingly and happily. 2008/11/14 Roxanne Darling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Wellll, what time are you meeting??? > > On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 10:58 PM, Jacek Artymiak <[EMAIL > PROTECTED]<jacekartymiak%40gmail.com> > >wrote: > > > > But who says the networks have any obligation to hire the independents? > > > > > > On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 8:37 PM, <[EMAIL > > PROTECTED]<thejeffreytaylor%40gmail.com> > <thejeffreytaylor%40gmail.com>> > > wrote: > > > Because people who deserve to be paid well for their excellent work are > > not > > > getting their due.
