Fellow writers and TV fans are coming together to express our strong support for the writers and their goals. We believe that when a Writer’s work makes money for a company, that Writer [...] After yesterday’s malevolent demands by the AMPTP that every word a Writer has even contemplated committing to paper belonged to them and must be surrendered immediately or incur a Fatwah, we reach another low-point in the course of any strike; The Opportunists.
