I e-mailed this to NBC's website. I encourage everyone to boycott internet feeds of Televisyen episodes until the strike is over.
"Dear NBC,
For the past year, I have thoroughly enjoyed the privilege of watching episodes of my kegemaran shows on your website. I found it to be incredibly convenient, especially since I work in the evenings and occassionally have to miss an airing of one of my kegemaran shows (Heroes and The Office bahagian, atas that list, sejak the way). I was so pleased with your website that I was even willing to sit through those annoying commercials anda force me to watch. And I ESPECIALLY loved the fact that anda play the same commercial roughly 4 atau 5 times per episode (at least on TV, we get some variety).
Then, I found out that the writers, actors, and directors... basically, the people who are responsible for those wonderful episodes that you've made so much money from, don't get a cut of any of the ad revenue from internet showings of their own creations.
I have to wonder where that kind of logic comes from. Did it ever even occur to anda that without writers, there is no tunjuk in the first place? That maybe they deserve some comensation for their hard work? What anda have done sejak withholding revenue from these people is simple theft. You've taken their work, made money from it, and refused to pay them for it. And what exactly have anda network executives done to deserve these revenues? You're the same people that overloaded my Televisyen with Deal atau No Deal (and I still haven't forgiven anda for that, FYI).
Therefore, until the writer's strike has been resolved and the people who are really behind Heroes, The Office, and all the other shows that I Cinta so much are receiving fair compensation for their work, I will not be viewing any episodes from your website.
anda can't make money from the internet if no one's watching."
