Roger Simon on the writers' strike....

Will New Media Destroy Hollywood?:
"New media is poised to destroy the entertainment industry, as we know it.

People as diverse as television writer Rob Long and Internet guru Marc Andreesen are talking about the end of Hollywood – and they have a point. Several, in fact."
Nothing would me me happier than to see the media moguls get what's coming to them. Of all the really big businesses in this world, nobody has perfected the art of punishing their customers as thoroughly as these folks have; and we all deserve much better. Read the whole thing and the links; and you will see how the writers' strike is just another indicator of how the dominoes are falling....Certainly the music business and the newspapers are bleeding to death from the same problems.
