WGA comment


I really do not agree with writers getting money from dvd or the
Internet but that my opinion. That will just raise prices for dvds
and other forms.

Networks say some late-night hosts could return to work without violating
guild strike rules:
while contracts vary, a performer writing for himself is covered
by a separate agreement with the American Federation of Television
and Radio Artists. A spokeswoman for the Writers Guild of America East
said hosts could not write any more material than they personally handled
pre-strike.]

The WGA comment does not make any sense. Wga can not limit what
talk show host can or can not write. The talk show host could
write a boat load of jokes. One talk show host is thinking of just
doing that, The talk show host do not belong to the WGA.

Some of them are, I think. I think Letterman may be.
