 Why the Writers strike matters to the online world  

I've only heard Tina Fey bring this line of logic up -- and its a shame , as it's one of the most compelling arguments for the writers.

- Studios , networks and industry associations are suing YouTube and other online sites for *billions* in 'damages' relating to improper licensing / distribution of online content.
- The same groups are telling the writers that there is little / no value in online content.
- Um, you can't claim both lines. They sort of directly contradict each other.

The writers want .04¢ more ( for a total of .08¢ ) on a 19.99 dvd - that's far from unreasonable.
