AMPTP ‘Admits’ Anti-Trust Violations
Nikki Finke notes that the AMPTP is about to publish an ad which in essence admits that they are engaging in anti-competitive collusion. In the comments over there, one WGA Ed nails it: “Anyone else find it kind of odd they felt they had to do this? After weeks of claiming our membership was falling apart, they need to publicly announce they aren’t? Who are they trying to convince and what’s the point?” Meanwhile, the latest comparison graphic touting the irrelevant figure of the “average” writer salary manages to use the phrase “more than an Family Doctor” — demonstrating that the AMPTP right now not only is without writers, but copy editors as well.
