The idea that writers aren’t entitled to a cut of the profit made off their work is stupid, not sorry. Companies literally wouldn’t have a product people want to buy without it.

Again, THEY DON’T OWN THE PRODUCT.

And? They created it. Without them it does not exist. If their labor is worth so little then why is Hollywood putting so much money and time into breaking the strikes so they can own their labor without fully compensating them for it? Why does a company deserve to own a money printing machine but the people who made what they sell don’t deserve anything from it?
