PGA Statement on Netflix/WBD:
"Producers are rightfully concerned about Netflix’s intended acquisition of one our industry’s most storied and meaningful studios. For the last century, the entertainment industry has employed millions of Americans, delighted audiences, and showcased the very best of our nation at home and abroad. As we navigate dynamic times of economic and technological change, our industry, together with policymakers, must find a way forward that protects producers’ livelihoods and real theatrical distribution, and that fosters creativity, promotes opportunities for workers and artists, empowers consumers with choices, and upholds freedom of speech. This is the test that the Netflix deal must pass. Our legacy studios are more than content libraries – within their vaults are the character and culture of our nation."
