Since I got some attention with my last post, here is the YouTube video put out to explain why the Writers Guild of America is striking.
The argument in the video is largely predicated on what other artists get (authors, song writers), as well as the idea that there was an agreement to raise residual rates eventually in the 1980s agreement. Mostly, it plays to the issue of “what is fair” by making the amounts sought by the writers as really trivial (always good to show little bars vs. big bars in these type of diagrams).
It’s really well done.
