Correct me if I’m wrong, but since this strike is against certain companies and not some entity that represents the entire industry like it does for movies and television, that means that other individual companies who come to an agreement can still hire these people, right? If so…imagine if we had that in movies and television.
We do. A24, for instance, is still making a couple movies by agreeing to work under the proposed terms by SAG. As far as I know, no one else has made such agreements yet. The more of such exceptions that get made, the weaker the AMPTP’s position will get.

Dropout.tv(formerly CollegeHumour) is also an unstruck company.One more reason to love dropout!
I didn’t know that! I just subbed to their service for Make Some Noise so I kind of feel better about shelling out for it now.
Oh, I see. I thought all of Hollywood was AMPTP and that’s why we can’t have nice things like DRM-free movie purchases.
