Actors to Get "iPod Download" Royalties
Monday, April 17th, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), both unions that represent performing artists, are working on deals that would grab royalty payments each time a show is downloaded to an electronic device. According to Contactmusic, the deal that is being negotiated will generate a US$0.02 residual payment each time a performance is downloaded or accessed on a cell phone, computer, or portable video or audio device, including the iPod.
A SAG spokesman commented "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."
A deal between the unions and producers is expected to be reached in the next few weeks.
