God, I am in the wrong business! Hollywood like the Sports industry is just out of control. Who needs that much money just to live a decent normal life?! Wow! $230,000?

Hollywood like the Sports industry is just out of control. Who needs that much money just to live a decent normal life?!

We have the internet now, you could probably find a more unbiased source. (Possibly the original proposal.) And it's spelled "publicly."

Wouldn't a third party base their decisions on market value? Seems like a good way to have ongoing process in place to monitor the situation rather than to have to strike and renegotiate the payout of revenue streams everytime there is a major shift in such markets. I'm willing to bet the writers will bend on their reality show demands if the producers bend on the internet ones. Nice spin doctoring by the producers especially in the areas of the internet.

Print authors can command huge sums of money and name recognition, but screenwriters don't. Has this "Writer"'s guild ever stuck up for authors and kept screenplays from being mass manufactured by dozens of members, only to have the WGA decide which names go on it in the end. You only have to watch the features on the Gladiator DVD to know John Logan DIDN'T write the movie the WGA gave him credit, and then he won an Oscar for... So If writers aren't celebrities whose work is kept in tact, commanding star salaries; is this guild there just to protect the mass scriptufacturing bullpens?
