Perhaps as this thing plays out, more will be written about it so we can get all sides of the issue. It could potentially be fraught with drama (which I'm not a big fan of) but it will be interesting to see what transpires. It could potentially change the landscape of film music...or not. Or it could fizzle and die. I'll definitely be watching. :) I wish I had more documented examples to use.

Glad you are giving it more validity by posting this. It seems to be just about the big guys now with big production studios backing them up. I'm worried about the little guys who try to make a living composing music. We need them too. As for union, it sounds like a good idea, just hope the union has some weight so they can actually push back if pushed. Composers are pretty powerful in the fact that movies need music, I'm not just talking about the big movies either. The producers better pay up if they want their music backing up their picture. Hope something good comes out of this. This is a very important issue. Glad you are giving it more validity by posting this.
