Crap! Soap Writers Cross Picket Line
Variety is reporting that several screenwriters from the daytime soaps are crossing picket lines and returning to work. As the grandson of a union organizer, I have to say that this is bad news for Writers Guild and all of the labor unions in the entertainment business.
The writers' strike is only in its second week. If writers from Days of Our Lives and Young & the Restless are ready to cross the picket line already, that means that there will likely be a lot of others in the coming days. The big media conglomerates know this. It will only make them that much more entrenched and unwilling to give writers a larger share of revenues.

No cable TV makes it easy for me not to be affected. Though Im sure I will be somehow in other ways.
You think prices for series DVDs will go up?
The big thing controversy for this seems to be on-line distribution and stuff like that.
But you never know how these things can play out.
