Comments on: The Office is closed http://johnaugust.com/archives/2007/the-office-is-closed A ton of useful information about screenwriting.

Doubtful. After all, they're in the business of paid exposure. They pay. They're exposed. NBC Universal's inability to fairly allocate revenues should not create a negative halo effect for advertisers that produce these funds. However, it would be nice if the studios felt some heat from them. Then again, advertisers are a dime a dozen for such a lucrative website.</p> I’m curious if NBC.com’s advertisers – including Walgreens, Honda, HP, CareerBuilder.com, and MasterCard – are concerned about who is earning their dollars as millions of viewers enjoy streaming Office content.
