• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

Let me know if there is a fire wall. I'll post the whole text.

"Since the beginning of the strike, writers have been asking for more transparency about viewership for their shows on streaming services like Netflix and Disney+, and for bonus payments when their shows perform well. As part of the deal, companies that operate a streaming service will provide the WGA with the total number of hours viewed, both domestically and internationally, of original streaming series. And beginning next year, the companies will pay a bonus on any made-for-streaming show or movie that is viewed by at least 20% of a streaming service’s domestic subscriber base in the first 90 days of release.

On the issue of artificial intelligence, the two sides agree that AI can’t write or rewrite a script, and AI-generated material will not be considered source material. Further, a writer can choose to use AI with company approval, but a company cannot require that a writer use AI software. The studios retained the ability to train AI using film and TV scripts, but gave writers the right to challenge that use in the future."
