Maybe it is a losing battle. You could well be right. But some people thought it was a losing battle when they took on Google. And some people thought it was a losing battle when the Writers Guild (screenwriters, a different org altogether) took on the studios for a piece of web and DVD profit.
You didn't.  I wasn't really referring to your post; it just reminded me of others. |
Didn't the Writer's Guild win only a token victory in the end, after many, many other employees on the sets losing their jobs in the process? I seem to remember that what they won didn't really amount to much. Something along the lines of a percentage of profits that still weren't manifest, and that percentage would be re-negotiated in 3 years time.
