Although there are a few well-off writers, the majority of writers are not rich and they aren't being paid a fair amount for their work. They are on strike until a fair contract is negotiated.

They seem to be wanting more money but for my part, they can stay on strike, they couldn;t write anyway, tv is not entertaining any more and thats the writers fault.

They want a higher percentage of revenue from DVD's and Internet media. Right now, writers only get about 3 cents from every DVD sold and they want more.
