The "Strike"
Ok, it’s time for Strike Talk!
This is one subject that will be ongoing for awhile. Right now, I thought I might start with a little introduction.
Writers from the WGA (Writers Guild of America) have been on strike since the beginning of November. They have major problems with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) and the studios out in Hollywood.
Naturally, it all comes down to money. The writers strongly believe they are not being compensated fairly for their work as it is distributed in new media. This would include the internet, DVD sales, downloads to cell phones, MP3 and IPOD players.
Both sides have “talked” about the issue but to no avail. As a result, the writers have walked.
There are so many topics to this issue that one post can not contain them all.
In tomorrow’s blog, I’ll get more in depth on some of the key sticking points
