Nice Strikin'

Since Wal-mart is notoriously wasteful and mismanages inventory like crazy, I'm sure they were making money hand over fist with downloading movies.

The article claims that download sales represented 1% of DVD sales in 2006. Would you take 5 months off work for a 1% raise? That's some fine accounting.

Even if the "industry experts" are right, we're still talking about fighting NOW for a 10% raise up to ten years from now.

While we can all thank our lucky stars that Aaron Sorkin isn't putting pen to paper for a few months, the strike still has a lot more negatives than positives for the industry as a whole, while the writers stand to gain next to nothing in the next 3-5 years for their efforts.

Thanks, fags!
