Issue are the royalties for sales of film on DVD and via the Internet. According to Variety, an author currently receives 4 cents per DVD at $ 15. This amount is based on an agreement dating from 1985 (when it still was no DVD, but only laser discs). The authors now require twice as others. the production costs of DVDs is not comparable with those calculations were. The studios on the other hand, want a fee then pay only if a title makes profit (Source

Die Studios bereiten sich nun auf einen eventuellen Streik vor and legen neue Projekte erst mal auf Eis. Ursprünglich hatte man sich auf Streiks für nächsten Sommer eingestellt, wenn synonymous die Verträge der Gewerkschaften der Regisseure and Schauspieler auslaufen.

Antwort von Axel:
Bernd Constantin and I agree. But we do not stick in this forum, because we worship Hollywood blindly. Are they with her Lohndumping the "authors" (the Selbstplagiateure) torment, what interests us, are films that arise because they want to make creative, not because they want to make shareholders.
Antwort von Legeo:
... Movies which arise because they want to make creative, not because they want to make shareholders.
Of course, the "creatives" of course it is not about money, which extends the honor and a warm handshake :-)

I have expressed myself unclear. Smaller independent productions pay many (not organized) employees does little, these films are of the strike not affected, just as amateur films of course. A season without Hollywood? Could be quite refreshing.
