Striking Actors and Hollywood Studios Agree to a Deal (nytimes.com)

I had completely forgotten about the Hollywood strike.


Really curious how the show down over AI went. Even yesterday it was still being reported the studios weren't budging & were insisting on rights to reproduce actors however they wanted in perpetuity via AI. Hard to imaging there will be a SAG or actors at all in the future if that stuck.

Seems like Netflix &al was able to keep actors from getting a real cut of streaming revenues.


Hard to tell, but sag-aftra memo says: "and for the first time establishes a streaming participation bonus.."

That's from the strikegeist newsletter today.

I will be anxiously watching to see what that actually means.
