\"Rogers\"<\/a>ACTRA<\/a> – the union that represents Canadian cinema, radio and TV artists – went on strike on Monday seeking compensation for performances by its members on the internet and mobile devices. A number of productions<\/a> have signed continuation letters with the union, permitting work to continue through the strike.<\/p>\n

Union vice president Austin Schautz said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

We are the faces that are out front. It’s our fair share of the product that goes on the air.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ACTRA is opposed to having their work distributed on new media, such as in promotional materials, without being paid. In a statement<\/a> on ACTRA’s website, actor Wendy Crewson says: <\/p>\n

Professional performers don’t work for free. Not on TV. Not on film. And not on the internet.
<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The strike is the first in ACTRA’s history.<\/p>\n

When digital media facilitates the distribution of content on new platforms, coupled with consumer devices that readily convert content between platforms, how do performers develop appropriate compensation plans?<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see the development of this file. Will actors and producers find parallels in the disruptive forces brought to the music industry?<\/p>\n
