American Federation of Musicians, AMPTP Resume Contract Talks Amid Fight Over Streaming Residual Fees: ‘Their Value Cannot Be Denied’ variety.com/2024/music/new… via @variety

“We need an increase in wages as well as residual payments for new media, particularly when it comes to movies that are made for streaming.
Just like the actors and the writers, I’m fighting for our fair share.”

“We are the musicians who bring film and television scores to life. We‘re fighting for a fair contract on behalf of current and future generations so we can bring the highest quality music to an ever-expanding global audience.” #fs4m
DAN Rosenboom, Trumpet, AFM Local 47 AFM

“Musicians make the sounds you can feel in movies and television shows. Many people assume that the musicians who make that happen are living the dream. Producers are claiming more than their fair share, and that dream is far from reality.” #FS4M Josh Plotner Local 802 AFM

“As entertainment companies move to streaming platforms, musicians are being paid less for the same work. It’s time for our artistic contributions to be recognized as an integral part of the product.' #fs4m
Weston Sprott, Trombonist, AFM Local 802 AFM

'Musicians play a vital role in the industry, and that needs to be recognized.' Bruce Dukov, AFM AFM Local 47 member. #FS4M afmfairshareformusicians.org

American Federation of Musicians (AFM) Says Still No Deal With AMPTP — But Negotiations Are Happening - via Digital Music News digitalmusicnews.com/2024/02/06/afm…

“Residuals for musicians working on streaming films & TV shows are minimal. While the producers are raking in profits, musicians can no longer make a living. We also need the same protection as actors and writers concerning the use of A.I.”
