Thousands of writers in Los Angeles and New York went on strike this week, risking their incomes and careers. They want more money for their work when it is used online than Hollywood studios are willing to pay. Because the strike is over matters of principle, not just dollars and cents, it could last for months. The immediate effect was to shut down late-night talk shows, including "Late Show with David Letterman" and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno".
Media companies argue that the market has become increasingly competitive and uncertain for many reasons. including internet piracy and tumbling box-office receipts. They want to cut writers’ income from "residuals", which are payments made when a TV show is re-used. The writers are determined not to repeat the mistake they made in 1985, when they listened to the studios’ plea that home video was an unproven new market and agreed to a residual payment of 0.3%, which translates into
A. The mere purpose of this strike is to increase writers’ income in general.
B. The main purpose of this strike is to achieve financial freedom online.
C. The mere aim of this strike is to put pressure on Hollywood studios.
D. The strike resulted in the suspension of several talk shows.
