(Digital Fingerprint) In this Meta File you would have your name associated with an ID number. Your ID number would be recorded each time the file or Program is Streamed, Downloaded, or an Impression is placed allowing a database to accurately count the number of hits and tabulating your total. Every WGA, DGA, SAG, AFTRA, BMI, ASCAP member would have an ID associated to a program and would get paid for each hit. (Imagine when all union and associations including craft services will want an ID in the Meta File to get performance residuals. Lowered up front costs and a gamble on the back-end) You would get paid in Micro-Cents, 5 hits = 1 cent, or 20 hits = 1 cent. Establish this as the standardized digital embedded working model and you can negotiate a larger sum as time goes on.
