Here's a link to the L.A. Times coverage of the deal recently made between the Writer's Guild of America and Hollywood studios.  The new media issues that the writers were concerned about were resolved...sort of.  Writers will be given some residual payment for shows broadcast on the web, but studios still don't have to pay up if they stream their shows on the internet within a few weeks of initial broadcasts (which, of course, is when most people download repeat content).  The biggest winner seems to be the union as writers creating web content will now officially fall under their jurisdiction.

"Rather than being shut out of the future of content creation and delivery, writers will lead the way as TV migrates to the Internet and platforms for new media are developed," said Patric M. Verrone, president of the WGA, West.
