The writers in Hollywood have gone on strike until issues they have can be resolved. I don't personally know what exactly the issues are though.
I found this info: ...( 10 months ago by revelcmai)
I found this info: "Every three years, the Writers Guilds negotiate a new basic contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) by which its members are employed. This contract is called the Minimum Basic Agreement (MBA).[7] In the 2007 negotiations over the MBA an impasse was reached, and the WGA membership voted to give its board authorization to call a strike, which it did on Friday, November 2, with the strike beginning the subsequent Monday, November 5, 2007.

Among the many proposals from both sides regarding the new contract, there are several key issues of contention including DVD residuals; union jurisdiction over animation and reality program writers; and, perhaps most importantly, compensation for so-called "new media"- content written for (and/or distributed through) emerging digital technology such as the Internet. ~wikipedia
They aren't getting the $ they deserve, especially with tv/movies online.

They're only asking for a tiny percentage of the online profits. The strike is going to cost so much more. Can't understand why they can't just pay them for their work. We want some new shows on TV! no more repeats.
