So by now you should understand why, on a basic level, the Writers Guild is striking. We just ran an update on the strike yesterday with some videos that the writers have made to explain the situation and build awareness. Another new video titled Voices of Uncertainty hit earlier today and its really rattling the cages of the media. The studios are trying to use the media to show that gross participants or deficit financing is killing them and yet also exclaiming that they're earning a lot from the digital market - the same one which the writers earn nothing from and are striking about. Basically, you need to watch this!

If you couldn't tell from yesterday's article, I'm on the side of the writers, but who isn't? I mean, if this video doesn't make your jaw drop and get you to head down to your local movie studio and picket with the writers, then I don't know what else would? The writers deserve that extra bit of residual income and the studios are just trying to horde the money, which from the video above is quite a damn bit. What do you think?
