As new methods of content distribution are rolled out, the three Guilds remain united in our assertion that members must be compensated for the reuse of their work as Guild contracts require. The ad-sponsored Internet streaming of primetime CBS shows is only the latest in a series of new ventures that could ultimately benefit both the entertainment industry and the actors, directors and writers who create the content that will allow these Internet sites to flourish. We will continue working to ensure that our Guild members receive their contractual fair share.
