SAG's leaders are drawing a line in the sand: In the future actors must still be asked for their consent for clips of their film and TV work to be displayed online. The clip issue's emerged as a key point in SAG's feature-primetime negotiations with the majors, set to resume May 28 -- or earlier, should the AFTRA primetime talks conclude quickly. AFTRA's negotiations go into their ninth day today at the headquarters of the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers.In a recent SAG website video posting, national exec director Doug Allen took issue with the congloms' proposal that they be allowed to be distribute such clips online -- with payment but without consent required -- and stressed that actors have had the right of refusal in traditional media for 50 years. He called it "one of the real boulders in the road" that the two sides need to traverse in order to reach a deal.
