		The decision suggested strongly that playwrights were not employees, and the Dramatists Guild, therefore, not a labor union entitled to the (60-year-ago- version of the) labor exemption to the anti-trust law.
		The legal framework for judging the propriety of dramatists acting through their Guild in a collaborative effort to refine a minimum standards form agreement, is exceedingly complex and arcane.
		The effort to categorize dramatists as common law employees or independent contractors in the classic analytic mode is a far different exercise than that involving fishing boat captains.

	Broadway Musicals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In some cases (depending on the quality and appeal of the songs in the show), the composer and lyricist may receive substantial long-term royalties from exploitation of the compositions in other areas, even if the original Broadway production is not terribly successful or, in a few cases, a total failure.
		Since the guild has always been in the forefront of protecting the rights of theater writers, its minimum compensation standards and guidelines for the participation of income by its members should be reviewed prior to negotiating any Broadway agreement.
		If the writers were sharing the guild's postrecoupment minimum of 6% (2% each to the composer, lyricist, and bookwriter), the weekly writer royalties would range from $12,000 to $18,000 each.

	US Senator Orrin Hatch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		I have come to believe deeply that the future quality of live theater depends on maintaining the artistic independence – and individual expression – of dramatists, while giving them a greater voice in the terms on which their works are produced.
		The PLAI Act is a narrow measure that will allow playwrights, composers and lyricists – through either the Dramatists Guild or any other voluntary peer organization – to act collectively in dealing with other industry groups that operate both under and behind the bright lights of the American stage.
		My hope is that the basic ability to update the standard form contract as well as provisions ensuring that certain artists’ rights are respected in the production of their plays will encourage young, struggling playwrights to continue working in the field and ensure the continuing viability and vibrancy of American live theater.
