I think somethings gotta give and the power is in the writer's hands right now. It just sucks because the consumers will end up paying for the writer's higher wages.

either that or the execs take a hit. I mean, there are many possibilities. It's silly to say that the cost will always get thrown at the consumer.

Power is with the studios and will be with the studios till like spring or april/may when they start to panic over next years TV season and the possibility of SAG joining the WGA and going on strike which would pretty much shutdown everything.

They're not going to jack up the price of a DVD because they are now giving writers 6 cents per dvd instead of 4.
