Writers From The Office Talk Writer's Strike

Posted on November 7, 2007

One of the studios' arguments as to why they shouldn't have to pay residuals to writers on Internet content is that it's just "promotional." You can watch full-length episodes of Ugly Betty online -- with paid commercials embedded -- yet somehow the studios say that is just a "promotion" not an airing of a show.

In this short video clip from the writers of the hit TV show The Office give their thoughts about the studios' negotiating position.
