Hollywood on strike!?!

Breaking News in the Industry:

"Hollywood screenwriters have overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike, which could happen anytime after Oct. 31."

Everyone is freaking out about this. The instructors at school said that this could be BIG. The strikes of all Hollywood screenwriters for TV and Film means that the upcoming February 'sweeps' period (and beyond, for that matter) could be seriously endangered.

The strike regards issues of putting TV shows on DVDs and the internet (such as iTunes, where people can download an episode for $2.00). Up until now, nobody has really paid attention to the concerns...but now it seems as if everyone wants a say in it.

This should be really interesting to see how it pans out...and this COULD mean a potential market for job opportunities in the near future.

More to come soon...
