Video sites courting striking writers

Michael Gay November 15th, 2007

With the writers out on strike, many expect online to be the place people will spend more time to find entertainment. Now, online video site break.com is inviting striking WGA members to upload their videos to their site. They’re offering $5,000 to the highest-rated video from a WGA member. Clever way to get high-quality content on their site. (Via paidContent.org)

    Does it seem a little insulting to propose paying a group of professionals with one check to one person, and expecting them to be excited about that?
