Your just so kind Jen, so refreshing. :) Anyway, I think the AFTRA deal is good depending on what is important to you. As an unknown actor with out an agent, consent of clips and new media is important to me. Most things on the internet is non union, which means all that work isn't open to me. And as an unknown with out representations its very easy for to get auditions for such things -- and there is so much of it. A friend of mine has a website with little funny videos and I can't be in any of them. And I feel someone could take advantage of my image online with out ardent rules and that worries me.
I think compromise is a very important thing, but I do think this is a different world because of the writers strike. That needs to be taken into consideration. If that hadn't happened it would be a whole different ballgame. I do hope they know that, but the people who run SAG have some money in the bank so perhaps they will will forget. I'm big on standing firm on one's principles, but sometimes you have to make hard choices for the greater good of the the many vs the few.
