This will just encourage more people to watch viral video and advertising online instead of on TV or at the cinema. It will only backfire on them More and more people are turning away from traditional media and looking to the internet for the entertainment anyway.

If the writer's and the studioheads don't come to some sort of agreement soon, the public will turn to other forms of entertainment to keep them busy- books! What a concept! Then, they won't need the People's Choice Awards, The Golden Globes, or The Oscars, because the public won't care! Enoughs enough! I was for the writers in the beginning, but now I think this is a deadlock struggle that no one will truly win. And, the sad thing is, the writer's that really could have benefited from this (plus the misc other people that put together tvs and movies) are having a crummy holiday season because they are out of work and not getting paid. How ironic. I can't wait to see what advertisers do about this change in the tv lineup next year. They are not going to pay prime dollars to show commercials during repeats. Without a February or May sweeps month, the studios and networks are going to lose money. Again, how ironic! Soon this piece of the pie they are all fighting for will be nothing more than a poptart!

However, in this time pressed society, where people don't have time to care about much anymore...we will abandon Grey's Anatomy and other shows faster than you can say "Vajayjay". We have each other to occupy ourselves with. A typical YouTube clip runs about 3:00 minutes, which is much more convenient for those of us who don't have time to sit around the boob tube and fast forward through those now-useless commercials.

I think that's the next step: people are just going to figure out how to put an exact price tag on online media.
