"LOS ANGELES (AFP) — The union of US television screenwriters announced Monday it will allow striking members to work on the Grammy Awards, saying it shares the same concerns as musicians regarding new media.
The Writers Guild of America (WGA), which is seeking a greater share of residual profits from Internet and new media sale, reached an interim agreement that will ensure that the music industry's most prestigious awards will go on February 10.
"Professional musicians face many of the same issues that we do concerning fair compensation for the use of their work in new media," WGA West President Patric Verrone said in a statement."
Sure, save the awards show that really bites!
