Yesterday, I went down to Rockefeller Center and stood and walked with the members of the WGA. As a member of SAG and AFTRA, it was important that solidarity be shown. As Actor212 will attest, without the writer, we actors are mimes. we are naught but a dumbshow.
I also know that the vast majority of writers have at least one other job to bridge the money gap. So, I walked with them. The men and women of the WGA are remarkably creative people - particularly the writers who bring us the nightly shows such as TDS & TCR. The writers all of them are deserving of a Fair Share of the Internet Revenue Stream. As for the AMTMP? I sya bullshit to your "Let's see if it makes money first..." Viacom sued gootube because of the revenue question - force all traffic to Comedy Central. See how much traffic then spin off each show to it's own website - even more revenue and MORE traffic. what to the writers get? ZERO
The Porn Industry as usual, shows the way - the Internet DOES make money....
and just a few pics from yesterday's picket: The sign reads:"Baby Needs a New Pair of Shoes" John Leguezamo
The AMTMP has refused to noegotiate. No Contract, no Drama. No Contract, no Joke MORE PICTURES HERE
