STRIKETV.com : More info, site still placeholder

Looking at their domain name's site, it's hard to tell if this project is going to launch with this name or not.

But the blog Divided Hollywood has some more information on the workings of the project. It's apparently intended to be a clearinghouse for WGA member web video projects, presumably including some intended more for entertainment than agitprop purposes.

Reading the comments, there's a fair amount of concern about the idea that members of other unions would be asked to donate their time and work for what could turn out to be for-profit projects. STRIKETV.com says they will be donating all profit from the site to support striking writers. But the creators (ie producers) will retain ownership, and could potentially profit from the show later or through different venues.

The irony of asking union members to work for producers for free since it's an experimental internet project has not been lost on many people.

In later comments, it looks as if STRIKETV.com is willing to work out these issues in a manner favorable to the crew, but details are scarce. Details on the whole project seem to be scarce at this point. Hopefully it works out, it really could be a watershed moment. But producers are producers, regardless of their status as writers, and there's still a lot of questions to be answered.
