the main point of this strike is over DVD sales. The bulk of the money made is in DVD sales, studios cook their books to guarantee that writers (and actors to a certain degree) don't see any money for this medium.
But that said, last time the contract was negotiated the internet content and dvd arenas were not such a huge factor.
Is only fair for the writers (and actors) to be compensated for their work in all mediums it is distributed in.
