Mixing and Nixing

[L. Bird]

>>One problem I see watching ITA tonight, it's an Eelpie production and
they've shown a clip of Roger performing. Roger, being a member of the
Screen Actor's Guild, is due union payment for this. From the fuss, I gather
he's not received it.

>Lela, you're making a pretty broad statement as fact without actually
knowing the facts.  ITA is not a SAG production, therefore, Roger is not due
payment for it.  Please review www.sag.org for more info.

Thanks for the link, Jason.  My first glance at it makes me think they're 
putting Roger in the position of doing non-union work.  ;)

Anyhow, I have no idea of the details of what they're arguing about, but it 
seems clear when Roger talks about "exploitation" and "future profits" that 
he's concerned about use of his image/voice in the webcasts and what might 
eventually happen with the shows.  On the other hand, he may very well be 
using his status as a SAG member to block Pete's PPV webcasts just because 
he wasn't consulted about them beforehand.

Pete makes his move and Roger counters.  This chess game for control of The 
Who goes back a long way.
