QotD: WGA Strike
Film & TV writers are on strike, which means everything except reality TV could halt production. Do you support the strike? Are any of your favorite shows in jeopardy?
I feel that if the writers are not getting the money they deserve for their work, then yes, they are right to be on strike. From what I have read so far, certain areas of technology and media are not covered in their contracts, including downloads and the internet. And production companies have not acknowledged their writers' opinions or complaints on that issue, so this should be a good way to get their attention.
As for my favorite shows being affected, I am not sure. I think they will be if this strike is prolonged, but I think they are safe in the short term. I am definitely hoping this does not last long, because I do not watch reality TV.
