I came upon this article today. It’s about the writer’s strike in the States. The article reports that in the negotiations, the writers are demanding that they get paid each time their new media content is played on an iPod.
I then had an email conversation with a friend. We both agree that in Singapore, a writing contract cedes all rights to the client. Whatever content we create, once it’s published, doesn’t belong to us anymore. Wouldn’t it be great if we could charge for each time an article is reprinted?
