As someone pointed out on Twitter last month, the AMPTP underestimated the strikers because they assume that writers and actors will return to the table once they realize their “cushy lifestyles” are in jeopardy.

He’ll need to buy an eXtra amount of horses most likely.

eXasperating.

eXhausting.

he’s renamed conference rooms to “eXposure,” “eXult” and “s3Xy,”

I think we can all just start agreeing he’s an idiot now. No conspiracy theories, no ‘grand plan.’ Just a fool and his money, quickly parting

If they won’t keep them available to stream and won’t put out physical copies for purchase, creating your own de facto preservation society seems to simply be the right thing to do. For history’s sake, if nothing else. :)

I’m pretty much always on the side of defending emulation, but that tweet does bring up a very damning point. As far as I’m aware, a lot of the biggest emulation groups over the years have tried very hard to decompile the source code and write their own from scratch for precisely this reason.

Isn’t it ironic that pirates may be our only hope?

At least with torrents there’s a stopgap.

This is your daily reminder that the only power people have over their employers is the one they exercise collectively, as a union.
