...itself has released a more straight-forward explainer video called "Why We Fight" about the issue of residual payments. So far, the producers have opted not to make their case online. But a shirtless guy named "GhostCow" has issued a Youtube rebuttal to the "Why We Fight" video that has been viewed about 9,000 times. The irritated GhostCow tells the writers, "You're just being a bunch of greedy bastards!" GhostCow does not, however, have any really good lines...
