With DirectTV soon to launch a new VOD service called Home Premium (a service that would allow subscribers to view movies a mere 2 months after hitting theaters), 23 high-profile directors, including James Cameron, Peter Jackson, and Michael Bay have banded together. They've written an open letter denouncing the service, and presenting a call to arms for all the creative community.

You know, I wonder if the OnDemand route isn't another way for the big companies to avoid paying certain money to others. Directors could get paid on top of their usual fee based on box office sales with a much lower per sale on OnDeman sales.
I totally overlooked this aspect of what this means. Could be very similar to what writers were going through a few years ago and how many companies were abusing their work for online purposes without paying them the typical value of said work.
You have to admit, though, that's a very strong list of names.
I agree with you on that one. It's not fair to them or to the movie goers. Sometimes even when it is about the bottom line (money) it still affects us and the movie goers have rights too.
