I dont know what to do, but I did just stumble upon this: http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-media-money-keynote-interview-with-michael- eisner/
I suppose I shouldnt be surprised at Eisner's view, coming from Disney or wherever it was, but as he's involved with Veoh, and so talks about things from the 'there's no money in it yet' perspective we know so well, it seemed sort of interesting. Not that I think that argument holds too much water, if theres no money in it right now that shouldnt affect the ability to set a %age, eg 5% of nothing is nothing, but later it could be something, and that would be fair? Is the only time companies reverse their ype about how well they are doing when those who do the work come asking for a fair share? Pfffft.
