As I said - in the countries that I referenced the author owns the copyright and they have a union collectively bargaining for them. You can look up the Union negotiated deals in Canada and the United Kingdom and see that property rights are included in them. The proposed legislation would not make DG a union, it would give Dramatists the ability to form a Union while retaining copyright, and/or for the DG to start a process to becoming a union.
The situation with the APC being an outdated agreement is complicated, but I realize that there's just not enough room to explain it here, but as someone who has negotiated them, I can tell you that what you're saying is not accurate.
I'm confused by you saying that something that I literally pulled from the DG's website, (and they release a letter like these basically every year, to revamp an argument about that legislation) doesn't jibe with what's on the DG website and other material.....that just doesn't make sense. Basically you're saying this comes as news to you, and because you hadn't noticed it on the DG website before it didn't exist?
But whatever - you seem to just want to say you're right, if you want to continue to make points that contradict actual facts, I suppose I should give up on trying to communicate to you. |
