The last WGA strike a few years back was largely about DVD residuals and proper credit on reality TV shows. It was only a few years ago, but online content was barely a serious thought. It took apx 15 years of DVDs before the WGA was able to negotiate any reform of note. I suspect it’ll take years before online content gets sorted out.
