Next, a quote from a recent LA Times article regarding the WGA picketing on Wall Street:

“Besides, said alliance spokeswoman Barbara Brogliatti, the anticipated $1 billion a year for video downloading by 2011 still will be dwarfed by projected sales of as much as $20.7 billion worth of ‘old-fashioned’ DVDs, so online nirvana isn’t dawning as fast as the writers contend.”

For the record, the 2.5% of that billion that the studios are trying to screw the writers out of? Twenty-five MILLION dollars.

Pocket change, really.

Also, if you’d like to read that article, but don’t really want to give the Times your personal info, Bug Me Not is your friend.
