The Battle for Creative Control: Hollywood Studios vs. Writers and Actors

Hollywood actors have confirmed that they are going on strike due to a proposal from Hollywood studios that would allow the studios to use actors' digital likenesses forever, without consent or compensation. The proposal includes scanning background performers, owning their image and likeness, and using it on any project indefinitely. The use of generative AI has been a major point of contention in negotiations, with actors fearing being replaced by machines. The strike will officially begin at midnight.
