Let me please turn your statement on it's head;
Brace yourselves everybody...
I'm about to make a statement that I probably should think through
more before I make it....
I think your webCast shows should be paid thru your Cable/DSL bill
(maybe as a flat fee).
It seems to make sense to me - your ISP is where you're getting it,
right?
I think it would also bring more competition to the ISP industry.
I *still* think the writer will get screwed, though - Writers have
been getting
screwed ever since the invention of mass-media.
