What is the Writer's Strike?

A Writer's strike begins with the authors who write scripts for
a TV show that wants more money-media produced.
Now that shows can be accessed online, writer’s feel they’re not
getting a fair amount of money that they've earned. Networks feel
there is not enough money to give to the writers, so they refuse to
write scripts. For example, on Nov. 5 of 2007, 12,000 members
lined up outside of Alliance of Motion Picture and Television
Producers (AMPTP) and stopped their work.
