I do want to clarify: it's not that I don't think the city has a right to request a cut from Caprio and the show, or that they never did...

It's the fact that they say on their behinds and seemingly didn't care when the show was not that profitable, only to now suddenly get all butthurt over a situation they could easily have resolved years ago, that irritates me.

Was the show maybe a little wrong for not offering anything? Possibly, maybe even probably. But the city established an implied status quo for years by not saying anything about it, so for them to speak up now comes off as a bit grubby.

It doesn’t matter that they’re now being grubby.The show runners got a free ride for a long minute and they aren’t owed that anymore. You know, the city putting on their business thinking cap is a good thing for its citizens. Imagine if the city could raise revenue from this instead of taxing us more.
