Here’s what I don’t get, Rick... Producers “sell or license” the product to the Streamers - shouldn’t writers and actors get a % of that “sell or license” fee versus residuals for streaming minutes? In exactly none of the conversations is anyone discussing the PGA. I’m assuming that highly regarded packages warrant higher purchase fees and thus more $$ to participating actors, writers, etc. Maybe the solution here is more transparency on what Streamers pay for acquired (and in house produced) content and how the PGA can share profits with fellow unions?
