The article linked somewhere here stated that (I paraphrase) "with the fluctuation of the new technologies that can distribute the merchandise that may simply be passing trends" there wasn't a point in adjusting the percentage the writers get. Which sounds like bull. I haven't found any other reasons as of yet.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's just odd, the discrepancy.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The claim is that there isn't any revenue from new media (iTunes and the like). So the puzzling thing is, if there isn't any revenue, and the writers are asking for 2.5% of any revenue from new media...then 2.5% of nothing is nothing...so why deny them?

And other people are getting *their* slice of zero.

I just hope they're flame retardant. I'd hate to light a cigarette and turn into the human torch. Though, hey, I'd totally make the evening news.
