» This is why the writers are striking

Beyond the Macbook Air, the most important thing to take away from today’s MacWorld expo was the fact that Apple has reinvented the distribution mechanism for film and television, and everything from now on will be done through the web. No more need to buy DVD’s, and that means no more residuals for writers, as currently contracted.

This is why the writers are striking. We shall see how this all resolves. — rubenfm
