Viacom sues YouTube for 1 billion, writers get 75 cents a word. Viacom estimates downloadable content is worth $500 million and writers get bad coffee. There’s the bottom line.

We’ll just have to wait longer for Lost to roll back around. Besides, they should just go online where all of us are rich as lords.
