Depending on the length of the contract etc it's very important to get online content sorted out now as it will take over and become a huge money earner.
| Then base it off of profit, not on X per episode. Demanding so much per episode downloaded makes it a HUGE profit loser for the companies. Unfortunately, SAG can't seem to figure that out. | |

They seem to be attempting to get so much in royalties per episode, but they should really be attempting to get x amount off of the gross profit. It'd make more sense that way and everyone would walk away happy.

And by the way, the character he played in Jurassic Park was Dr. John Hammond.
Nice try, but no cigar my friend.
On topic I agree that for every famous bastard at the top of the totem pole who get worshiped, there are thousands at the bottom who are getting pissed on by the animals. While I agree it sounds so fake when people like Brad Pitt stand up and say what they think, I'd rather they said something about something than nothing about everything.

Also, yeah, I realized after I posted it that I'd left the d off the guy's name however I was too lazy to go edit my post, but thanks for pointing that out for me. Quote:
