SAG is now demanding 2% of the revenue generated by streamers with an outside audit to guarantee transparency. "We're producers and we don't have you know a piece of that so we can't give away what we don’t have," says SAG-AFTRA president Danny Cevallos. “It was like talking to Sam Drucker on Peddico Junction.
