SAG-AFTRA wins small victory over video game producer website

The "Screen Actors Guild" (SAG) and the "America Federation of Television and Radio Artists" (AFTRA) has won a battle over the use of its' name on another website. Video game producers created a title website called, "sagaftravideogames.com" after SAG-AFTRA went on strike against them back in October 2016. Video producers have taken that website down over title trademark infringement. They have changed it to "videogamestrikenews.com." 

The SAG-AFTRA union strike has entered its' 50th day which is now the longest in SAG history. The union is asking for residual pay and on-set protection among other things. Video game producers haven't budged on anything as SAG-AFTRA blocks union members from working on productions around the world.
