Check out my strike video.

The WGA is NOT trying to "extort money." They ask for residuals from "new media," i.e. studio webcasts (which the studios now exempt as "promotional") just as writers receive from old media, i.e. TV. Think of it as a very small slice of the pie we all baked rather than the writers getting nothing. Writers will ONLY profit if the (hitherto miserly) producers profit. "Waivers" are due to production companies such as Worldwide Pants agreeing to WGA terms & are not granted to "special interests."

Sounds like they're just getting greedy to me.

[Unphazd]

Katana991, when you write "they're," are you referring to the writers or the studios?

[Katana991]

Actually, I'm not sure. At first, I thought it was the writers because of the situation, but what if it was the other way around?

[Unphazd]

It is the other way around. Think about it, who would be telling the truth...the artists or the mega-corporations? The studios, not the writers, walked away from negotiations. Please re-read my comment at the start of this exchange and visit unitedhollywood DOT com for the latest details.
