There’s No Money In Online Distribution. Right?

AppScout discusses the various online distribution methods that NBC is pursuing for BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and other shows, after its recent break with iTunes. Apparently making HD versions of their shows available online for download, is one of NBC’s ultimate goals. Let’s hope they work out the royalty issues with the WGA soon on this stuff, cuz I want my HD d.l.’s!

Despite what the AMPTP is telling the striking Hollywood writers and the press, a tipping point seems to have been reached in Hollywood regarding the internet - and there is no turning back now.

Make a deal AMPTP, and stop mucking about with our culture’s storytellers.


...In related news: "Starting in January, the WGA will commence STRIKETV.com, where clips of video material will be put up and advertiser support sought." [via Nikki Finke]…and…A contest has just begun via FairDeal4Writers to make the best short video that suggests ways to end the WGA Strike. Watch Paul “CRASH” Haggis explain in this video below.
