Sorry for the typos. Darn it. On FB you can edit your posts, here I don't know what to do... I swear I am not completely illiterate, though, I'm just in the habit of typing too fast....

Bravo for this excellent, necessary article! One smal comment (pertaining to translation). Serge Daney's collection of writings on television, "Le Salaire du Zappeur" was a pun on the title of HG Clouzot's 1953 film, "Le Salaire de la peur," which in English was translated as "The Wages of Fear." A better translation, then, would involve the word "Wages," rather than salary. "The Wages of a Channel-Hopper?" or to quote from your insghtfull title "The Wages of a Channel-Smuggler?" Best, BR
