"most of the people the bitch about this stuff haven't earned the right to."

Well, you're right about that. So stop bitching.

Yeah, let's take a look at shows that (supposedly) don't use writers: reality TV. Case closed, lol.

HILARIOUS! This and AMPTP's New Proposal. Well done. I hope you all get ass cancer... lol

this made me really mad, and i'm not even a write, all these huge corp. are Aholes, like viacom and those companies.... good luck!

Me being a aspiring screenwriter, I think that, what the writer's being paid a third of a penny on DVD is ludicrous. I mean come on! If it wasn't for writers, tv and movies wouldn't be so hot. Al they were asking for was 4 cents extra on DVD sales and 2.5% on internet profits. Long argument short, the writer's write it, without them, well, tv would suck, so I think that the writer's should make some profit off of, iTunes/internet downloads and DVD sales.

The "Hollywood Reporter" quoted Thomas Short, President of IATSE (union of stage hands & motion pic techs, etc.) as saying,"I don't believe the WGA ever intended to bargain in good faith. They are destroying a lot of lives in the process. As a result of their irresponsible and irrational behavior, the number of IA members who have lost work is approaching 40,000 people."

Your post just proves what I've been saying about the AMPTP paying losers to post anti-WGA lies on the internet, and the only 2 points they think people will buy into are:

ALL writers are rich, make hundreds of thousands per year, sit around doing nothing, etc.

The WGA/writers are responsible for the loss of wages and jobs of below the line workers.

Post this: the AMPTP tried to f**k the WGA out of deserved residuals, then played games at the table and broke talks.

AND, supposed person not AMPTP drone...

You heard for yourself in a supermarket 2hand info. and THAT'S enough to form an opinion?

Look up the definition of SCAB. It's not just a derogatory word.

As a matter of fact, the WGA is fighting for your "brother's" healthcare and pension as well as the $ protection of every other unionized group that works in the bus. of tv. and film as well as themselves. Their contract just came up first.

If you don't know who the AMPTP are...you have no business discussing the strike in the first place...but here you go:

AMPTP: Assoc. of Motion Picture and Television Producers, otherwise referred to for striking purposes as "the big 6"- the 6 major studios: Sony, Paramount, Buena Vista, NBC Studios, Fox and Time Warner. Note the media ownership and the lack of in depth/accurate coverage of the strike in the news?

You never answered my question drone,

Does the AMPTP pay you by the hour or by the post?

You are a very lazy drone BTW.
