Musicians were wanting to earn money for their work being given away in a new digital format. The companies are showing movies/shows online and reaping huge advertising moneys. The writers would get paid if the show went into syndication on television, but they don't since it's on a computer screen and not a tv. <BR/><BR/>Ultimately, I don't like the way that they keep finding ways to milk art for money, but as long as the money is there for quality work, shouldn't part of it go to the people that worked to create it instead of all of it going to a corporation?<BR/><BR/>-There is a site called OpenHulu that removes the ads and should remove some of the guilt that people my have using hulu since it doesn't feed the companies and starve the writers.<BR/><BR/>Also:<BR/>"The internet has been around for a long time so why are they thinking of this now."<BR/>- It has taken this long for a majority of users to own internet that is fast enough to stream video.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102103.post-9568736334903741872007-12-21T09:58:00.000-05:002007-12-21T09:58:00.000-05:00I'm lost.

The internet has been around for a long time so why are they thinking of this now. Writers, artists, actors, and musicians think they should be paid forever for their work. It ultimately costs us more. What about engineers, chemists, or software developers. Should they continue to get paid forever. For example the guy who made plastic. These writers are talented and deserve to be paid. What about the crap they produce. What ever happened to salaries and benefits. Hollywood, Motion picture industry, and the music industry won't get any sympathy from me. Sorry to say it. The welfare has to end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
