Report: Actors To Be Paid For Cell-Phone, Ipod Appearances
17 April 2006Members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of
Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) are likely to receive a residual payment
of 2 cents every time their performance is downloaded or accessed on a cell
phone, computer, or portable video device, the New York Post reported on
Sunday, citing an unnamed industry source. It quoted a SAG spokesman as
confirming, "Unions are seeking or are engaged with producers in serious
conversations over what residual formula ought to be applied to new
distribution platforms like downloads and mobile phones." The newspaper said
that an agreement between producers and the two unions regarding the new media
is likely to be reached "within weeks."
