I think the risk would be if a canadian or uk writer were to be caught they could possibly get kicked off of or at least get in trouble with their respective guild.

What is the real risk for a UK/Canadian writer if they have no intention of ever joining the WGA?

Also, is there a WPO issue at stake in the WGA strike? Do other countries pay DVD/Internet royalties to writer's in their country?

Re new media (Internet and cell phones), my analysis is that such writing is permissible, if the employer (or purchaser) is not a struck company. See http://digitalmedialaw.blogspot.com/2007/11/int... for details.

Thanks, as ever, for the above, Peter. I attach here the Writers' Guild of Great Britain's statement on the issue, which some might be interested by. http://www.writersguild.org.uk/public/003_Write...
