Surely you jest.  You think market forces play no impact on the production of film and television? That Producers don't have to compete, can force advertisers to charge nothing, and don't have to pay top dollar for actors and directors and writers to get people to see their movies?  Come on.  This is a business.  There is no such thing as being able to control all costs just because you are the guy raising funds and allocating a budget.How?  How can they do this, given the change in the market?  You think the producers just like losing money like they have been lately? That they are doing this for the fun of overspending?Honestly, I think that is just your opinion, and you came into this already being in favor of the writers.  I think the facts I cited are compelling enough to make one at least question the writer's position if you come in as undecided.  But if you are already decided, then of course your perspective will be "anything you say will likely reinforce my opinion that I am right", much like any debate.I'm posting the other side for people who remain undecided and want to see both sides.  That's it.</blockquote>
