God, unless this is resolved within monthes, guess there's nothing to do but stick to Anime and games.

But still, my fav shows...

How ya doing, buddy?

I can't consider the writer's greedy when all they are asking for is their share cut that was promised ages ago, and its only 4 frelling cents extra from a DVD, and the same rate for internet full episodes with the TV ones. I'm pretty sure by now, the home video industry is MORE than stable.

I always expected the internet full episodes have around the same rate and deal as the ones on TV, looks like I was wrong.

I mean, look at musical artists. I'm sure some people agree that some artists earn get more money out of our wallets than they derserve sometimes. Why should all those Hip hop singers own a giant mansion, while writer's struggle to pay their mortgage?

Unless the writers are demanding gold or some shit, I don't think most of them were being greedy. I mean hell, Peter Jackson asked for his fair cut in the LOTR EE DVD sales too, which from what I've heard was suppose to be his contracted pay cut, yet New Line refused to pay up despite Jackson essentially saving them from being obsolete.

And now? Jackson can't even get frigging Halo going in the movie production side, a game that Hollywood is blaming for the drop in ticket sales. Whether you like LOTR movies or not, its undeniable to what a hit it has become. It took Jackson 10 years of hard work and a large team of creative people to pull this off, now all he asked in return is not a raise, but his fair cut, and this is how he got treated?

But I haven't been following this as closely as some of you may had, so I could be wrong. But from what I can tell, greed doesn't seem to be part of the equation. Writers deserve their fair cut.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
