I don't know how much they're enforcing it, or whether or not writers are following those rules.

I am sympathetic towards the writers -- I just don't see how they have any leverage. And I can more easily see people telling a poll that they are going to read books and magazines rather than going to movies or watching TV than I can see them actually doing that, long-term.
To the extent DVD-watching impacts sales of DVDs, watching DVDs doesn't seem particularly supportive of the writers, given that they are asking for more revenue-sharing on those, as well -- that implies it is mostly the studios who are profiting.
