[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Kevin, you obviously don't understand how business works. Business isn't about profit, or even customer satisfaction, business is all about screwing the competition.
It doesn't matter if the studios make good money from the iTunes store, or even if customers like using it, what's most important is that Apple gets shut out of the market.
The same logic is at the root of the HD DVD/Blu-Ray war, and ultimately, it's why there is a writers strike. Those pesky writers need to be put in their place.
Tom speaks for me re: Hulu. It's not a business model, it's a pissing match.
Oh, I do think it's a business model. But (surprisingly, actually) they're thinking long term. Don't matter if they make less money now on online streaming. It's about regaining control of the distribution channels so that they can screw the people later with their monopoly.
oops...wrong thread
Buffistas, they are everywhere: [link]
BTW, I have leftover bags, if anyone (anywhere) wants to do another drop-off.
Wow! Tim really does rock.
Tim's getting all the kudos, but toss some love John Gray's way for braving the freeway at rush hour to deliver them.
We're gonna need a bigger Sharpie.
Looks like the KXCD can let Jon Stewart out of the basement- He's coming back on the air with Colbert in January without his writers:
Tom, I do understand how business works. I did a post here a while ago about exactly the thing you're refering to, so pretty much agree. The current battle with new media is about control. That said, I quite firmly believe the studios can make a profit from hulu.
