The Hollywood Writers Strike?!


Question: What is this strike about? Forgive me for asking this question if it has been redundant, but I'm confused as to what they are striking about and why. To all those who answer, thank you.

The main issue of the strike is about DVD sales, and the money a writer makes for the sale of each DVD. Generally, the writers want more.
The writer [ie: screenplay] are still the bottom of the food-chain in Hollywood.
Over-seas sales of a DVD, make more money for a film than sales in the USA. [One example: A screenwriter I know of, made 1 cent for every DVD sold; he made out well, because the movie was more popular in Europe than it was here.]
The writers in TV are supporting the screenwriters guild..that's why the latenight talk shows are running re-runs. Jay Leno needs his joke writers.

It all starts with a screenplay. You can tell I support the writers,right?

Hope this answers your questions.

Oh yeah! Me and Ross have got it all planned out! lol ;-)

in addition to the DVD thing, i heard (on the news) it was also about the writers not getting any of the profits from their shows being on youtube.

pointless..they make enough as it is
