I think that by then, the industry will have a decent, working, business model for downloading movies and TV shows. right now, things are too experimental and no one knows what strategy is going to make the best money.</p><p>so, if the WGA renewed their old deal for a short term and didn't obligate themselves to any long-term royalty deal for such downloads, I think that they would have been a much better place to get their royalty structure. It's always easier to discuss a revenue stream that is established versus a theoretical one.</p>steve cornFri, 15 Feb 2008 01:03:00 -0000http://dealfatigue.com/wga-deal-pretty-much-closes.-now-let-the-healing-begin./#comment-1554877<p>so who won?</p>josephSun, 10 Feb 2008 00:48:51 -0000
