Canadian Deal a Blueprint for U.S. Actors?

According to Backstage, a tentative agreement between ACTRA and the Canadian Film and Television Producers Assn, would give Canadian actors a 10% wage increase over three years and landmark compensation terms for performances used in content distributed over the Internet, mobile or other new-media platforms.

... Back in the U.S., actors and others seeking additional compensation for performances showing up on the Internet, cell phones or elsewhere continue to face a frustratingly mixed patchwork quilt of compensation scenarios."

How Hollywood studio execs actually view terms of the Canadian actors' deal is still unclear.
