Well, it was just an idea along the lines of a 'universal library of stuff' that
could be checked out that this thread was going on about.
So the ideas about paying the recording artists directly from funds fm the
checkouts from this library is not so far fetched, but having studios pay the
actors a percentage of the revenue is answered with contempt and facetiousness,
making my idea sound like it was *really* far fetched.
Hmmmm, Jack made a handsome salary on "Batman", being paid by percentages,
Affleck did not for "Pearl Harbor". So which little idea just discussed in this
thread has *already* happened?
Hacks off the stage please.

We need systemic change to restore the Free Market back to what it once (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
