WGA strike

http://unitedhollywood.blogspot.com/

There's a lot of information on that blog about why the WGA is on strike, and some videos from the writers of various shows (ones that I watch) talking about why they're on strike and why it's a big deal.

The writers don't get any money from new media (the internet). So watching shows online, which is all I can do, because I don't have a TV, is basically screwing them over. They're not getting paid for the stuff they're putting out. There are some things that people work on that haven't even been on TV, like The Office webisodes - the writers got nothing for that, because they aired on the internet. And apparently the writers even won a daytime Emmy for that.

If anyone has any questions about why this is going on, this website is very helpful and informative.
