    Again, THEY DON’T OWN THE PRODUCT.

    Answer the question. Why is a company entitled to print money off the creative work of artists? What entitles them to that and not the people who actually create the value?

    As it is, they are paid $25-35K per episode which is a LOT of money for a weekly show per season.

    Lmao, you don’t know what you’re talking about. What right wing rag told you this shit? Virtually no writers are making that much. I’d be shocked if a dozen are. Do you think the WGA is made up solely of millionaires?

    You’re not arguing with me about it because you’re so uninformed you can’t even have a conversation about it.

      The company doesn’t print money off of the creative work of the artists, they bundle that work with the work of others they’ve paid for the product and hope it makes some money. Sometimes that goes terribly, so would the artists also like to be on the hook for losses?
