I think those who are still in these kind of show business are those who
are only motivated by their passion and their love of the art,  the same
thing that made and introduce the open source concept in the software
industry.  Open source concept is where the software
programmers/developers created is sold at a reasonable lower price or
free to be downloaded with their source code -  which means other people
can modified the code and redistributed with the same concept...  but
with this way of producing creativity, some people still making money...
ex... Linux Red Hat operaTING SYSTEM.

Oh well, that's the politics of show business.  Being in the professional music end of it myself, I understand.  It doesn't discourage me from dreaming, though.......

ME: This is kinda complicated but basically...

When we first offered GARFIELD & FRIENDS for syndication, the show was
still on CBS on Saturday mornings.  CBS had "control" of a certain
number of episodes for their use.  There were 73 episodes that they no
longer controlled so we offered the 73 for syndication.

A company called Program Exchange bought the rights to syndicate the
73 episodes.  The idea was that, at some point down the line, they'd
also buy the others.  For a start though, they just bought the 73 that
were available.
