update on the Seinfeld DVD

okay okay I know it has nothing to do with .Net (flame me anyway if you must kids), but let's get our priorities in order!

Movie Poop Shoot has an update on the controversy surrounding Jerry's co-stars' lack of participation in the DVD due to non-compensation. Looks like we will see a Seinfeld DVD sometime in '04!

  Wow... I can't believe they would ask the actors to work for free to promote a product they will be stiffed on. Amazing.
  
  I love(d) the show, though, this is sad that the history will be tarnished like this. I am sure the stars will be complaining about this the rest of their lives. I would.

  I don't like the MS developer anology. In that scenario, the developer leaves Microsoft and doesn't continue to be compensated. But let's say that a few years later, Microsoft contacts the developer and asks her to write some more code for the same software. Additional compensation would definitely be expected for this.
  
  In the case of Seinfeld, the actors are returning in order to do commentary, etc. This is new work and therefore requires additional compensation.
  
  Regardless, I don't think any of those involved in Seinfeld really ever need to work again.
