Part of what writers guild members are paid is in the form of residuals earned from broadcasts, DVD sales, etc.

I'm guessing you either didn't know that, or you don't understand that.

Right now, in many cases, there are no residuals earned from internet broadcasts of their work. That's what's at the heart of the strike.

I think the analogy to producers' concerns on the use of torrents is apt.
