I think that by then, the industry will have a decent, working, business model for downloading movies and TV shows. right now, things are too experimental and no one knows what strategy is going to make the best money. so, if the WGA renewed their old deal for a short term and didn't obligate themselves to any long-term royalty deal for such downloads, I think that they would have been a much better place to get their royalty structure. It's always easier to discuss a revenue stream that is established versus a theoretical one. the question for me is would the writers have achieved a better deal if they deferred on negotiating a new contract for a year or two?
