Do the writers deserve a bigger piece of the pie?

Well, it's not the Screen Actors Guild that IS on strike... it's the Writer's Guild of America.
I FULLY support them. They deserve residuals from the producers and corporations that make MILLIONS off their intellectual property.

S.A.G. is the Screen Actors Guild...they aren't the ones getting ready to strike. I do believe the writers have a good point. The studios are making money in ways they didn't anticipate at the time of the current contract, so I believe the writers should get a piece of the pie.
My viewing habits are such that I don't think it will impact my viewing habits much. I do have a client that will possibly lose his job when production on the series he is working on halts because of the strike. I do have a great deal of sympathy for him and his family because his wife is pregnant with their second child and they were barely making ends meet as it was.

They don't really want a bigger SHARE of the same pie. They want the same share of a BIGGER pie.
Their work is downloaded to computers, cell phones etc. and they are paid NOTHING for that.
There may well be a time soon, when some programs ONLY appear online. At that time, the show producers will have to have a new basis/framework for paying the writers.

I dunno if they deserve it but I think we should give it to them. Til the strike ends the only shows and movies we can watch are the ones that have already been written. It sucks hard for me cause my 2 favorite shows The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are written daily. They won't have any new ones til the strike is over.

Now, at least we will have decent re-runs to watch. The new shoes gag a rat. No they don't. Whatever happened to talented writers?

I rather doubt that the actors could think these things up themselves. If there were no writers, there would be no shows.
I see their point...
