Guilds urge protections as Netflix-Warner Bros. deal faces Senate scrutiny

During a Senate Judiciary antitrust subcommittee hearing on Netflix’s proposed Warner Bros. acquisition, Hollywood guilds (DGA, PGA, WGA) submitted statements warning that consolidation could harm workers and competition, and pressed for protections such as expanded domestic production, longer theatrical windows, and a meaningful share of independent productions. The DGA, PGA and WGA also offered a nine-question framework for regulators to probe audience impact, employment, licensing, and other safeguards as the deal moves forward.

"Proposed US Bill Requires Transparency on AI Training with Copyrighted Content"

Hollywood guilds including SAG-AFTRA, IATSE, WGA, and DGA are backing a new bill proposed by Rep. Adam Schiff to regulate the use of copyrighted material in training generative AI systems. The bill, if passed, would require companies to disclose the origin of datasets used in AI training and impose a $5,000 civil penalty for violations. This move comes in response to concerns about the impact of AI on workers and creators, and follows previous negotiations between guilds and studios on AI protections. The bill has garnered bipartisan support and aligns with broader efforts to address AI's influence in the entertainment industry.
