Actually 10-20% is more like $0.20-$0.40 per episode, not $0.04.
It doesn't sound like the unions are being unreasonable here. The headline is misleading (as the concern is about getting paid for the content they create, not applying a "tax of sorts" on the iPod success).
The pay-per-view model sounds fair because that is basically what it is.
Unions are only concerned about their chunk of change, not the artists fair share. They will be the death of old Hollywood.
Because of union greed American labor is disastrously non- competitive with the rest of the world. Fortunately, they is a movement away from big labor unions.
Of course you wouldn't know that since you watch Fox news, the most right wing news source on the face of the planet.
Unions only cause rich corporate types trouble, because they fight for the rights of workers. But, then again, why should workers have rights? They should only go to work and shut the hell up right?
I get paid by the hour. If the work I do has residual benefits to my employer I do not get extra for it.
The actors on hit TV shows continue to grab for more money to continue on those shows and are paid by the episode. They are lucky they get residuals and it should not be expected on all formats all the time.

I doubt that people downloading TV shows from the iTunes store to watch on their iPods will seriously affect the market for buying TV shows on DVD. I downloaded Night Stalker just to try it out and watched it on my computer. It cannot be burned to a DVD (that I could figure out) and even if it could, the resolution quality would not be anywhere near what you get when you buy the show on DVD. People who want the high quality DVDs will still buy them. The people who download TV shows to watch on their iPods are like people who buy a newspaper. They want something to watch on their way to work. Or maybe they missed an episode and want to catch up.

Otherwise, they're just getting greedy.
