As expected, the unions are chiming in about expected residuals from Internet-related distributed content (Reuters). Network execs (ABC) are musing about following the DVD model, whereas unions are not. Astonishingly enough...the DVD model does not favor the unions.
What's interesting here is two-fold:
1) The fear/legitimacy/potential/urgency (pick your own word) of the Web-based mechanism is clearly in play. Think about how other distribution mechanisms such as TiVo or VOD for examples, have not been as hyped/scrutinized as this one...
2) The move by execs to compare this to DVD...which is either plain greedy or clueless or both.
