And making matters worse, no one seems sure about just how big that elephant is -- or is going to get. The animal in question is the digital download business, and determining a fair cut of that digital revenue for talent is at the heart of the contentious talks between the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers (AMPTP)."
