This went down before in 1988
and now they are getting ready for another Writers Guild Strike due to not getting paid for DVD's and Internet.

How can Hollywood get like this,
all this should have been added as it all came in over the years.
To turn around now and say 'hey I ain't getting enough'
is crazy.
They are lucky to have a Big Industry
with Mega hit shows like '24'
making Billions worldwide.

Live Shows like USA XFactor
will not get any problem from a Strike of writers.
They do not need them.

I wish the directors of XFactor would go on strike forever.

As for the other writers, they get paid enough.

We're all doomed!
Head for the hills before they start heading for you!

Ditto with Peggy Lee. Hollywood wouldn't pay royalties the VHS release of "The Lady and the Tramp", the music of which was done by Lee (words and music).

Ch4 Uk had a report on this Strike.

Clever Jay Leno was out with the Strikers
giving out donuts
because he needs them back for his Live show each night.

But the Hollywood Studio Bosses
have no talks planned.

They will show Live programs
which do not need Writers,
instead of doing a deal with the strikers.

The Strike in Hollywood is Over
The Pickets will end this week
all in good time for the Oscars, of course.
