Michael Eisner, the former Disney CEO, claims that companies such as Apple are taking the studios to the cleaners when it comes to digital distribution. So, is Apple to blame for the writer's strike? You decide.

Supporting the StrikersActors and "show runners" (who help determine a show's creative direction and answers to the studios) have joined the picket line, halting production of shows that have enough scripts to keep shooting through the end of the year...if they had their actors and show runners!
Steve Carrell was among those who refused to cross the picket line, which is great of him...but I want my Office!!!! :( -
Eisner is just a sore loser. He thought he could bully Jobs and Pixar at Diney's shareholder's expense, but he was the one who ended up being pushed aside.
