The Writers Strike, Not The Daily Show
17th of November, 2007
Quick summary:
- Some TV writers are on strike because they want to be paid for use of their writing online.
- TV executives tell them no and give them the finger because “it’s too soon to put a dollar value on internet content”.
- Meanwhile, TV executives sue YouTube for 1 billion dollars for putting their content online.
- So, is online content worth nothing or 1 billion dollars?
Watch this video from the Daily Show writers, very funny.
