Wow, the studios must really be serious about adding income streams so they can pay residuals to the actors and writers.

Ha! If you think that any of that money will go to actors and writers, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

Once a deal is struck, it will. It's the only income stream the studios would ever be willing to use to pay residuals.

Where else are you thinking residual money will come from? On broadcast and cable, it has always come from ad revenue.
