"Tomorrow marks another chapter in the ongoing war between the Writers Guild of America's union, and the higher ups at the studios.  A meeting for the two parties is scheduled for Monday at 10 AM, but Guild members will still be picketing, sending the strike into its fourth week.  \nSpeculations are looking pretty grim on the outcome of the meeting, with expectations for little progress to be made further than where the two parties left off a month ago, prior to the strike.  \nA large part of the issue comes down to rev-share from new media sales, which is still uncharted territory.  This makes it more difficult for an agreement to be made, but a possible concession could be paying writers a portion of content licensing fees as opposed to advertising revenues.  Seems like this could spark an entirely new debate, which speaks to the larger issue of traditional media's ongoing difficulty in adjusting to new media and retaining its established pricing structure.  It's touched several aspects of Internet publishing, with the question regarding the writer's strike coming up in NBC's purchasing of the rights for \"quarterlife\" and the public commending of ABC  for paying its Internet writers.\nHowever, tomorrow's meeting looks to be the best chance either party has for making any headway at all.  All I can say is, I'll be pretty bummed if \"Heroes\" goes down the crapper because of all this.\n[via  paidcontent]\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
