Writers' Guild Effects

Let's say the writers won and granted royalties on DVDs and internet downloads...

Won't the networks and producers put the burden of addl cost on DVDs on us consumers?

Just a thought to ponder...

Producers get paid 100x more than writers. You think those greedy b*stards will cave and say, "Oh, okay. Let's lessen our profit by 2% so we can pay the writers and not pass the cost to the consumers"?

Hell no.

Prepare to save up for $100 single disc R1 DVDs of Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo the soonest this strike is over. <sarcasm> ;D

That's just a twisted, worst case example on my part. I could be wrong, though... :D
