Writers' Guild statement on FCC Net "Neutrality" rules: "Tepid," "Fail in Fundamental Ways," etc.

[villager]

This was from a press release sent out by Writers Guild East, earlier today:


The Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) issued the following statement today in response to today’s FCC vote on Net Neutrality:

“A compromise means the parties to a dispute reach agreement. Here, no one has agreed to anything. These tepid rules will be challenged in court and in Congress, and they fail in the most fundamental ways - permitting paid prioritization and all manner of discrimination in wireless.

Our members write most of what people watch on television and in the movie theaters and increasingly, online. Today’s FCC vote will diminish our members’ ability to create and distribute innovative content and audiences’ ability to watch the content of their choice.”
