I don't understand why they are striking!?:) Somebody can explain it to me, please!
They are striking because they feel like they don't receive an adequate percentage of profits.
To clarify, they are striking because they (and the actors and directors will be next) are not seeing any percentage of profits from Internet downloads. And they need to blaze this trail
now since the Internet is going to continue to be competitive with television for revenue and ultimately a very profitable venue. The best example is The Office--they make all those Webisodes
(that even won an Emmy), but the writers don't make any more money for the extra work they have to do. But NBC can sell ads within the episodes, so they make money they are not sharing. Hope that
helps.
thanks whatever! you explained it really well
Whatever100, you explained it extremely well. I don't think many people understand exactly why they are doing this. I'm all for it! I wish I could help rally with them
Ok, thanks:) I got it now.
