Writer’s Strike

Anyone else wishing this writer’s strikewould end?  I understand their reasoning for the strike another way the Internet has changed the world of writing and the effects of such change in the real world, but for purely selfish reasons I wish they would come to an agreement already so that the shows I am addicted to would be put into reruns like the late night shows.   I find it interesting how the entertainment industry is trying to deal with the internet and downloading age we are currently in.  I wonder how long it will be until cds and dvds eventually become extinct because it is inevitable the question is just how long will it take.  And how will they keep hackers, who are constantly on their game coming up with new programs, from creating free down loading sites like Limewire?
