Why is it nice to see any OS on a TV? This is how we end up with ads inserted over ads, a scenario that should never have ever plaid out but somehow it has.
So you're saying Hank Azaria created the character of Montgomery Burns, correct? If not you'll have to explain the relevance of this article to the story at hand. Hint: character != voice. For more information look up Terry Nation and the Daleks.
He's in Austrailia right now to do a Pirates movie. He violated quarantine rules by bringing his dogs with him without following proper protocol and can you tell my preferred radio station needs to sort out its priorities?
A promise made by a man trying to sell you something is not a fact. Show me one of the contracts they made from a notable game being sold on their service with a clause spelling this out and I'll beleive it. Until then... you just gullible.
It also requires luck to "be" a character, as you say it.
That's bunk. I takes a lot of hard work and training to be an actor. A portion of it is developing a good sense of observation and another portion of it is figuring out how to translate what you observe into how you behave. That's why there's a such thing as shitty actors, not everybody gets that.
If another moderately capable voice actor got the role when the casting was done, we'd think He is the only actor that can do justice to the role.
Actually that's what happened. Chris Latta, otherwise known as Starscream and Cobra Commander, was the original voice of Montgomery Burns. If he hadn't have passed away, you're right, he may have kept the role.
Here's the problem with your logic: Don't you think that if it was that easy to swap people out they would have dropped Shearer long before he started making millions in the role?
Incidentally top Japanese voice actors get paid much less, and just look at how much more "anime" gets produced, rather than just a few notable American cartoons.
Not particularly relevant, here. Do you really think there's just no more room for prime-time animated comedies? Stop and ponder for a bit where the money to pay the voice actors millions per year comes from and why they'd actually earn it, then ask yourself how that applies to anime.
They didn't replace the voice actor they replaced a single role of his. There is a world of difference and the guy who did it probably got a wheelbarrow full of money.
Voice actors are not inter-changeable. If you grew up on the original Ninja Turtles cartoon then deep down you know I'm right.
Here's a fun fact: There are union rules about how many characters one can do for a show. I don't know what the actual limit is but it's something like this: You get paid for every three characters you play.
This came about because some voice actors have the diversity to play so many roles they could practically voice it themselves. You'll notice in the Star Trek Animated series that James Doohan played a shit-ton of roles on it. The idea was to level the playing field a bit by not making it cost effective to use only one-man-bands.
I don't think that's why Shearer was earning that much money, though. I think it's because he's behind so many distinct characters that his departure will leave a notable absence in the show. Well... that and that particular show still generates a shit-ton of revenue for Fox. Right now they're opening up a Springfield attraction at Universal Studios so you can go to Moe's Tavern. Lots of money changed hands to make that happen. There's still plenty of love for that show.

Hell there's been nothing innovative about the iPhone in the past 5 years either.
The same is true for the rest of the market. You lot got all fappity over a stylus.
what about those who are making 15 an hour now??? or those making 15.50??? will they get a raise???
If they're more valuable than those they could be replaced with then... yes.
And now you know why minimum wage should not have stagnated in the first place.
So you're a tech nerd who has an aversion to seeing ads.... Your life must be hell.
Who was selling half-price iPads and Apple Watches?
And you think that is equally intrusive to Google's services, correct?
Huh? Apple collects the exact same user information Google does...
Apple has a search engine?
Why do you read PDFs on your TV?

Yeah, it's not my fault. I voted for the guy that's honest, hard working, and looking out for my personal interests!
Also I don't like being advertised to in general and fuck you anyways.
Then you shouldn't visit the site. Then you avoid harmful ads and there's no moral debate.
And how exactly would he have gotten a contract where he would have owned the likeness of these voices? ;)

It is the point. The conflict-of-interest here is manufactured.
What sites does Slashdot send people to that aren't there to make money? I don't get this witchhunt.
You do know you could just look this up yourself, right?
You know there was more to my post than just that question, right?
That joke is so old it dates back to when Harry Shearer was the voice of Monty Burns.
I apologize for being thick, but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly where the conflict in our discussion is.

And were all of Mel Blanc's roles replaced by one person?
Or, let me put it this way: Why do you think Shearer was getting 14 million? Fox's legendary generosity?
Who said anything about state of the art? The drones you go buy at the store are all battery operated. More battery power, more lifting power.
