Talk:Thirty Mile Zone

Thirty Mile Zone is a term mainly created by TMZ to promote their brand. Studio Zone is the actual correct term used throughout the entertainment industry since the 60's. Anyone who actually works in the film/tv industry knows this. If you call SAG, the DGA and any line producer and ask them which term is used, they will say "studio zone". It is called "studio zone" in the union contracts. No one in Los Angeles calls it the thirty mile zone. If you walked on a set and used that term, they'd know you just got "off the bus" from Podunk, USA.

This Thirty Mile Zone page seems to be part of a TMZ PR campaign. Each time an accurate Studio Zone page is created on Wikipedia, someone goes and deletes it. Could it be TMZ? Perhaps. Who else would care?

For clarification, there is no legally defined term "Thirty Mile Zone" in any of the union agreements, but there is a legally defined term "Studio Zone". No one in Hollywood utters the phrase "thirty mile zone" except entertainment industry outsiders who read gossip on TMZ.

There has recently been a battle of sorts here on Wikipedia regarding this page and the Studio Zone page. There is an active campaign by three people to have Studio Zone re-directed or "merged" to this page. Accurate information on both this entry and the Studio Zone entry has been maliciously deleted, including comments on the discussion page, which should be sacred.

No one in Hollywood utters the phras "thirty mile zone" except TMZ, the entity that created it. The phrase "thirty mile zone" is a brand created by AOL/Warner Bros and Telepictures, Inc. (all who run TMZ), it is not the 45+ year old term used in the entertainment industry, which is again "studio zone".

Any redirection of this page to or merging with Thirty Mile Zone must be questioned. All deletions to the discussion page should also be questioned. Why delete a discussion? Accuracy should be treasured here on Wikipedia. "Thirty mile zone" is not accurate, it is a brand/campaign. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Planetprods (talk • contribs) 15:49, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
