Right now, musicians are rallying outside NBC headquarters in New York City and outside the offices of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) in Los Angeles. Musicians are in the streets demanding that global media and entertainment companies pay musicians fairly for original streaming productions.

Actors, directors, musicians and writers have traditionally received a small portion of revenue from the films and television shows they work on. Companies such as ABC/Disney, CBS/Disney, Fox, MGM, NBCUniversal, Paramount, Sony, and Warner Media continue to pay actors, writers, and directors fairly when they work on original streaming productions, but refuse to fairly pay musicians.

Media companies like Disney, which earned an estimated $59 billion last year, want musicians to perform on streaming productions at a fraction of amounts earned when performing for traditional theatrical or television productions. Without appropriate industry-standard wage and residual payments in the making of streaming productions, musicians earn 75% less when a Disney film is released on Disney Plus versus in theaters or on network television.

Musicians are fighting for fairness as traditional media transitions to streaming. Band Together on Twitter to join the fight.
