Another Hollywood strike? Musicians union ‘prepared to do whatever it needs’ for AI protections and streaming residuals::After a year in which both actors and writers hit the picket lines, another Hollywood strike may be on the horizon.
Worked the first time, let’s fucking go
Except the strikes already drained our resources. I’m a camera operator, our union was not on strike but we were equally impacted by the strikes. Our contract is up for negotiation this year. I can’t afford another strike. I’m already looking for work outside the film industry. What we need is to align the renewal of all entertainment union contracts so we all strike together at the same time.
Good. They deserve the a retirement plan, and for many that’s residuals. Also, AI music is terrible.
Record companies prepare to do whatever is needed for AI protection. They would have gone on strike long ago if it was actually for the artists.
Do all the people that were stolen from to train AI get residuals or credit? If not, that’s theft. We all know this. AI is theft. AI programmers are lazy thieves. Maybe we can start a grassroots campaign to label AI and anyone associated with it as lazy and a thief.
