AMPTP is definitely exploring how to open up and exploit the internet market and potentials for distribution. Keep these articles coming on their deals, positioning, and penetration protocols. It lets certain outsiders understand what's truly happening in the transformation of distribution. It will also allow this new generation of creative content generators and internet producers to synergize a new model in their in own ground breaking and creative ways.<BR/><BR/>It will be interesting during Upfronts, if AMPTP chooses to continue the strike through February and March, to see what happens if they didn't do their homework and get that pile of stockpiled shootable pilot scripts and deliver only reality programming. I wonder how the advertisers will also change this market. There was time when we used to watch advertiser sponsored TV. Remember "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom?" What's to stop a return to that model in the new frontier of the internet?Frustrated Bystanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897828604516458791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462026865900537983.post-9226800757544245732007-12-04T10:18:00.000-08:002007-12-04T10:18:00.000-08:00I'd love to hear the writers strike mega mix but t...I'd love to hear the writers strike mega mix but the link's not working... any chance VDO Vault can re-post?

Especially if the network middle-men are cut out?<BR/><BR/>What we need is a few of the striking power house writer-producers to get together a put together a couple of pilots JUST for the internet, and promote them on the internet, threatening to simply ditch the nets and go broadband. You'll make less money now, but the rewards could be huge.<BR/><BR/>If they realize we don't need their residuals, that we can keep it ALL for ourselves, suddenly the power will shift, and they will run back to the table. Don't just tell them we don't believe their numbers, let's show them!<BR/><BR/>Every day the whole "Internet is untested" thing stinks worse than a pig farm.

Food for thought:<BR/><BR/>"The heartless, faceless machine disturbs me greatly and has prompted my commentary about abandoning it altogether. Part of me feels as if everyone involved in the creative process should band together to dismantle the Alliance's power structure. We should force them to beg us for a deal instead of the opposing paradigm that currently rules the day. Another part of me, though, hopes it won't come to that. Extraordinary circumstances would be a necessary pre-requisite for such extraordinary measures, and unfortunately that would mean a protracted strike and the suffering of many. Nobody wants to see that."<BR/><BR/><BR/>-and-<BR/><BR/><BR/>"How do I think this will turn out? Either the Alliance will give the writers a fair shake, or they'll continue to fiddle while Rome burns and then watch in horror as the industry rises like a phoenix from the ashes; and leaves them in the dust."Captain Obvioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914653846791290845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462026865900537983.post-58995673198548133752007-12-04T02:31:00.000-08:002007-12-04T02:31:00.000-08:00I think this is the part where the AMPTP gets tied...I think this is the part where the AMPTP gets tied up and stuffed in the trunk of an Oldsmobile with a simple ultimatum: Either give us the money or we'll "squeeze" it out of you.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Should we be forced to commence the aforementioned squeezing the pets will cross the picket lines just long enough to clap as the screaming conglomeration is gruesomely and efficiently silenced by many tons of hydraulic force.Captain Obvioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914653846791290845noreply@blogger.com
