Few, if any, 
in the Hollywood community have embraced the Web as passionately as Felicia Day.
Now, with the fifth season of her comedic web-series “The Guild” in her pocket, Day has weighed anchor on a new project, a six-part Web series tying in with Electronic Arts hit video game franchise “Dragon Age” – and it looks like she may have another hit on her hands.
While royalty rates may be the first thing you 
think of in the face-off between Hollywood’s major content creators and outlets such as Netflix and YouTube, there’s a much bigger battle brewing under the surface.
Online video, historically, has not been something that compares well with film or television. Production budgets, if they exist at all, are lower — and due to differences in the ad model, there hasn’t been a lot of incentive to create programming that’s on par with what the studios and networks regularly release.
That’s changing, though, with both Netflix and YouTube taking tentative steps into the original content business. And while both are just beginning to explore the field, the moves already have network and studio brass on high alert.
