Writers Strike over Internet Pay Heats up on the Net, B-Word in Play

Hollywood Today: "There is no sign of peace on the horizon in Hollywood. As the threat of a strike by unionized writers against the major movie studios and TV networks rises ominously, the war of words shifted Monday to what would happen if there was a work stoppage. Producer’s spokesman J. Nicholas Counter came out swinging in reaction to rules revealed last week by the Writers Guild of America."

There really seems to be a breakdown in communication between the employers and the employees lately. It's ironic that they're talking about a strike for the writers, directors and actors in Hollywood around the same time the stagehands on Broadway are striking. Two of our major hubs of the entertainment industry are in a bit of trouble. They need to figure something out, or we might all be a little less entertained in the coming months.
