The Writers Guild of America (WGA) is in all likelihood going on strike starting Monday. This from Inthenews

A federal mediator attended the eight-hour talks, with the writers’ union seeking extra revenue for the re-use of their work when reproduced on DVD, the internet and mobile phones.

But studios issued a statement confirming increased demands from the WGA had constituted a “complete roadblock to any further progress”.

Btw, the last WGA strike was in in 1988 and lasted 22 weeks. It cost Hollywood an estimated $500 million.
