The Writers Guild Strike in Hollywood
Nov. 7th, 2007 07:00 pmWell, it happened. I wasn't surprised it did, not when I read what it was all about. The corporate head honchoes make millions if not more, while the rank and file slowly lose their rights. Oh wait, that's the private sector, but it does apply to union folk as well. The digital frontier is one that many fans are embracing, particuarly when they love a show so much they don't care if they download or not, they want to see it NOW.
Anyway, below the cut are some links - good places to visit to follow the strike - as well as a copy of a newspaper article listing the affected shows. Alas, the crappy reality shows aren't affected. I suspect they'll descend like locusts on the empty slots when the strike drags into 2008 (which some feel it will). Me? I'm getting out my tapes of ADDERLY!
