Studios oppose WGA strike rules
Variety: "Universal and New Line are joining the chorus of Hollywood players crying foul over the WGA's strike rules. In letters mailed late last week to writers working on projects for the studios, U and New Line take issue with the Writers Guild's script validation regulations, which require scribes to submit to the WGA all unproduced material that's been written for struck companies, plus the status of each project."

more on the strikes... things are really heating up and idndt quite understand the whole argument until we discussed it in class the other day. its sad but it also makes a lot of sense that these types of arguments would ensue... i never quite understand how things can escalate to this level but i guess at some point somethings gotta give and someone has to say they are willing to stand up and try and change a system.... its just sad to see the aftermath that is ensuing as a result.
What stuck out to me was the line about Universal owning material. The fact that you can own a person's ideas has always seemed completely ludicrous to me.
