[quote=“Dr.Stevil,post:7,topic:38340"”]

from what I’ve heard, the writers want royalties for shows sold online/vhs/dvd/ect.

apparently this was never in their “contract” as seasons of tv shows weren’t really selling until recently (last few years). They want a piece of the pie but they (the studios) don’t want to pay them.

Yeah, but the details are what matters. Like how big a piece of that pie are they looking for.

Just like with GM, everyone has too much at stake to let this go on for too long.
