Of course they do, they're bitter that someone else developed a business model for the future of media distribution that may actually WORK and make money. They're in panic mode. Low box office receipts, etc... and now this? Poor exec producers may have to scale back to just one lamborghini... poor guys.

I wonder if SAG will come up with a "direct to iPod, contract"?

Might take a while- SAG already got spanked pretty hard by the videogame industry.
