  Tantrum? Uh, no. The writers were striking because they weren't getting a fair shake. They were being denied what was rightfully theirs. If you create something and someone sells it, then you deserve a certain percentage. And they weren't getting what they deserved from new media. Fighting for that is not 'having a tantrum'. By the by, there have been WGA strikes before, to prompt getting what they were supposed to. Do a little research before you mouth off on things you don't know about.

  I'm watching this from the UK. The Idea of a writer being able to strike is a new concept. We run a free market economy where if you don't like the job terms and pay you jump out find another booming indutry to milk. It just indicates the glory days of TV Film is at an end. Maybe it's a good thing. Let others countries who are more economic have a chance to make content. We have loads of really good cheap scrips you can have. Writers! stop having a tantrum, you are strangling your own buisness!!
