I don’t understand how it can be said that this is an insecure business model for the studios when this article at the Financial Times (http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/49e3d7a8-9e1c-11dc-9f68-0000779fd2ac.html?nclick_check=1) states that media buyers estimate that ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox will make $120 million in ad revenue alone this year alone on online streaming of their episodes – of which they pay nothing to their writers because they declare it’s reuse “promotional”. And, that total online video advertising is going to bring $1.4 billion, doubling since last year.
