You’ve got quite a few guys ahead of you in line for it!I bet I'd be a lot more interested if I knew how little it was setting you back!

Yep. Flat bamboo spoons in Malibu... sucksForget about the contents of the soup. Look at that thing they call a spoon.
What about paper straws? Is your cafeteria using those bad boys that force you to drink your beverage in 2 minutes?Yep. Flat bamboo spoons in Malibu... sucks
Apparently I have the best luck in the world with paper straws, I've always run out of drink or had the ice fully melted before the straw suffered structural deficiency.What about paper straws? Is your cafeteria using those bad boys that force you to drink your beverage in 2 minutes?
Nothing wrong with him using his social clout as leverage to try for a better deal, though.So Dave Chappelle is telling his fans to boycott watching The Dave Chappelle show because he's not getting paid money for the reruns to be on air and/or on a streaming service.
Reading the entire article, Chappelle signed a contract with ViacomCBS, and it apparently didn't include ancillary rights. He admits to signing a contract. Then walking away from that contract. And somehow, none of this is his fault.![]()
Ha ha - in on this, but I will say I thought you didn't love the C7.5 A6 as much as you said you do in that thread, but maybe I'm thinking of something else...![]()
I really need to stop buying cars....... But they keep...
Well the eTron lease deal that I worked out for myself is quickly approaching the end of its term, so I have been on the hunt for a replacement car. Was all over the place, wanted a Sedan, wanted something a little sporty, wanted something that was cheap (under 450 a month) and wanted to buy it...www.vwvortex.com
Come watch me waste more money folks!!!
No, but you don't go trashing a company because you f**ked up. He is the one who signed a $50m deal and ran away.Nothing wrong with him using his social clout as leverage to try for a better deal, though.
Deal? He has no room to negotiate. He walked away from the deal years and years ago. Viacom can do whatever they want with the show.Nothing wrong with him using his social clout as leverage to try for a better deal, though.
Yep that too. Save the turtlesWhat about paper straws? Is your cafeteria using those bad boys that force you to drink your beverage in 2 minutes?
I think the message is more about should standard continue to involve the creator having to sign a **** contract and own none of their creation just so they can make their art/vision/what have you? Why shouldn’t the creative entity have ownership over their creation. I think he’s trying to shed light on the industry standard in order to create change. Look at why so many people have gone to independent podcasting and so many comics are producing their own specials and putting them on YouTube for free.Deal? He has no room to negotiate.

Netflix only caved because he has (had?) a contract with him for his standup specials. They probably don't want him to walk away from that contract too.
Chappelle's situation happened just before streaming became a thing. He didn't foresee the growth of streaming services. He didn't believe the Internet. Now he's trying to recoup his nearsighted mistakes.I think the message is more about should standard continue to involve the creator having to sign a **** contract and own none of their creation just so they can make their art/vision/what have you?

Hell, Taylor swift is re-recording her earlier work in an effort to retain some ownership since she can’t even buy her masters or whatever ****ed up situation is going on over there.
The fact that he had to sign away his likeness right in perpetuity just to be able to do the show is ridiculous. It’s time the industry changed.
This happens in music all the time. There are so many bands that are broke now because the record company owns all the rights. Either the band didn't know any better, or they don't get a record deal without signing that type of contract, etc. I don't know if that should be legal, they should cap it at 50/50 or something like that.Dave Chapelle has no room to be upset with Viacom. He signed the contract, then stepped away from it. Sorry bud, that show is theirs, and they can do whatever they want with it.
Like I said; If you want to own your content, own it; don't sell it.I remember when my dad told me that Michael Jackson owned all the Beatles songs. I couldn't wrap my head around it.
I bet Chappelle would have future-proofed it if he could but I bet at the time that was how contracts were and there was no budging on that clause. Back then you couldn't own your own work and have anyone see it. It is still this way in many cases. I've heard many people talk about trying to get a show made even just 10 years ago, and how the suits make all these changes and you can't do anything about it. But how else would you get a payday and/or have your work seen (back then)? It's hard to see the road ahead and often times you take the best deal in front of you because it is all you have. I'm glad to see that changing with more self produced/distributed content.
17 years ago Chappell didn’t have the “juice” to be able to make a deal where he could have ownership. That’s the sad part about the industry. So his compromise was sell his soul to make a show which ended up becoming very successful and the only ones profiting from it are the suits.Like I said; If you want to own your content, own it; don't sell it.
Yeah, that's easy to say. But everything comes in life with a compromise. If you want to really own something, don't compromise. And if you made a s**ty deal, own up to it. Don't try to rewrite the past.
How many content providers are there these days? Distribution providers? Tons. A lot more than 40 years ago when it was the big 3. Then cable. Now streaming. And all of them are in business making money.
When stuff like this happens it always makes me think of the people who get f*cked buying cars at BHPH lots. Payments are way too high, they miss one, car gets repo'd, and it's "I had no idea".This happens in music all the time.
