Really well written analysis by Ben Thompson1, totally disagree with the conclusion
Talent, meanwhile, has to realize that they and the studios are not divided by this new paradigm, but jointly threatened: the Internet is bad news for content producers with outsized costs, and long-term sustainability will be that much harder to achieve if the focus is on increasing them.
What @dianeduane and @neilhimself have taught me is that the demands of the folk on strike are minuscule. The big content producers have been rapacious.Talent should not have to bear these burdens, because they haven’t shared in the benefits all these decades past.
