    No, it’s just ridiculous that these well-off Hollywood writers are demanding special treatment. Practically every other profession works on a salaried basis, in practically every corner of the world.

    They aren’t demanding that their colleagues who work behind the scenes like the set crews, editors and support staff get residuals.

    No, their motive is entirely selfish and they come off extremely entitled when they place themselves above the rest of the people who are responsible for creating a product.
