They proposed that our background
performers should be able to be scanned,
get paid for one day’s pay, and their
company should own that scan,
their image, their likeness, and should
be able to use it for the rest of eternity
in any project they want with
no consent and no compensation, Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, national executive director
and chief negotiator for SAG-AFTRA, via CNBC.
So if you think that’s a ground breaking
proposal I suggest you think again, Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, national executive director
