TV writers want a bigger percentage of DVD sales, and they're also demanding a cut of the profits studios make off the clips viewed online.
Contracts for all 12,000 members of the Writers Guild ended October 31st. Hundreds of them will be picketing outside Rockefeller Center this morning and in LA outside of 14 major studios. The guild says they will picket everyday until a new deal is reached.
