A robust beginning has also been made in the direction of discussing royalties and residuals for screenwriters and lyricists.
The recent stupendous success of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) in securing several benefits for its screenwriters has been hugely inspiring.
Comment by JD: Really appreciate the struggles of your work on copyright and contracts. The digital space , entertainment, knowledge, service and production is going through re-definition where political economy is being marginalised unless people like you dig in. You recall how George Fernandes struggled to get banks to recognised the taxis itself to be the surety and the labour itself to be the project.. This is similar work.
