When I first heard about the strike I thought lazy buggers they just want more money when I can barely make ends meet, but once I read that more about it, what they want seams fair enough. I mean I payed about a thousand dollars for Star Trek Voyager on DVD, and now getting Enterprise for $80 each (hold until everyone stops laughing about all the money I spent on Voyager) and I was pissed that I had to spend so much when other shows cost shit all, e.g. season one of Earl for $35, but now I find out that the writers of Voyager get next to nothing out of that thousand dollars, that just seams unfair, if not for them there would be no show.
And currently writers get payed nothing for ?New Media? sales, Internet downloads, IPTV, streaming, smart phone programming, straight-to-Internet.
Well that?s the way I understand it anyways, I may be wrong. Money figures are in NZ dollars by the way.
So I?m I supporting the Writers Guild of America.
And remember this is about the WGA, not the fact that I spent so much on Voyager and Enterprise
