That’s fantastic! The best way of saying it I’ve heard yet.
I know what you’re saying about the writer’s strike, but it still goes without saying that the networks have done exactly what the RIAA have done: stopped thinking about the makers and users.

Especially appropriate for estate agents, who’ve always thought they’re more important than everyone else; parasites.

John Dodds, I square this by the simple fact that the people in the ecosystem the writers [i.e. the “makers”] are striking against, are not the “sellers”, but in fact the “users”.
Studios buy screenplays, not cinema-going members of the public.
The “sellers” in this equation are the agents, the latter we’re in fact hearing very little from.
Nice try

Absolutely right but how do you square this with what I perceived to be your criticism of the writers’ strike some time back? Aren’t they makers too?

What if the “seller” and “maker” are one and the same ? Happier

Heh. They are fighting a rear-guard action to try and keep the inevitable to the last possible minute, but guess what, it will not work. Good cartoon, gets the gestalt.
