What writers want * Residuals for shows and movies streamed over the Web and on cellphones.* A doubling of residual payments from home video sales.* Extension of guild pay and benefits to writers on reality TV programs.What producers say * DVD sales are needed to offset rising marketing and production costs.* It’s too early to lock into pay formulas for online shows because technologies are changing rapidly.* No pay for streaming of TV shows on the Web because it is a form of promotion.Source: Times research
