As you know, the WGA is on strike. The writers want a percentage of the DVD and “New Media” sales. The hold up with new media is because revenue generated from new media is usually based on advertising. Studios argue that giving money to writers from advertising is unprecedented, in other words, the writers don’t get money from commercials on TV. Ah ha! But they do indirectly. Where do you think money comes from? Advertising. TV is set up so that the most people will watch it, that’s why it’s often times so dumb. But it’s that way for a reason. More people. Which means more money. Why do you think BayWatch was the number one television show in the world?
Anyway, the money that pays for everything comes from advertising. Now the studios aren’t wanting to share the revenue generated from advertising as if this was never heard of. When in fact, they’ve been doing it since the inception of television.
In the mean time, if you’re a member of the WGA, I will give you a 20% discount on anything I sell on donnymiller.com during this strike. Just email me an image of your card. This extends to art pieces. I love you all that much.
Stay strong, becuase you’re in the right.
