Directors Guild Makes Three-Year Deal With AMPTP!!

I am – Hercules!! From Variety:

DGA touted a trio of new-media gains: Establishing DGA jurisdiction over programs produced for distribution on the Internet; Boosting the residuals formula for paid Internet downloads (electronic sell-through) by double the current rate; And establishing residual rates for ad-supported streaming and use of clips on the Internet.

Will doubling download residuals be enough for the writers guild, on strike since Nov. 7? The current Screen Actors Guild agreement with the AMPTP expires in June. Read all of Variety’s story on the matter here.
