Quick Note on WGA Strike

So, read an article today on the WGA strike. So now I know what they want! People were wrong, it's not DVD residuals (which apparently they went on strike in the 80's to get higher VHS residuals because 5 cents a tape just wasn't enough! The pie can only be split so many ways man!) Anyways, what they /do/ want is a percentage of online sales. Fine, whatever, give it to them. They offered 1.2%, but that just isn't enough for the writers. They say they'll starve and be unable to afford to live if they don't get a larger percentage. Which really translates to they see a good money making opportunity and want a piece of the action, a BIG piece. Well, production companies and networks are owned by large corps now and can wait it out longer. They also pre-prepared by rushing production and stockpiling reality TV shows. So, it looks like we're in for the long haul unless the writers will agree to be a little more reasonable. Course who know, reasonable to them might just be 2% and it's the other people being stubborn bastards. Oh well. I just hope for a resolution quick enough that my fav shows don't go by way of Moonlighting (a show which wasn't able to come back after the last strike, scary.)
