Interesting argument, but analogy stinks. I don’t know why the writers used residuals as a way to earn more money, I think the issue is that the writers are not being compensated enough for their work and they saw the studios making big bucks on the DVD’s and they, the writers, missed out on that source of revenue. I think the writers are just pointing out there are additional avenues of revenue, beyond the original show the writers and the studio made money on and why shouldn’t they, the creators participate? The studios are greedy PIGS.

All sounds kinda selfish on the writer’s part to me, causing people to get fired. Then again, I know nothing about what I’m talking about nor do I know why they went on strike in the first place. I hate reading.

According to news sources, Leno IS paying their salaries with his own money…

Leno should auction off some of his many, many cars and motorcycles to pay his staff IMO. They deserve some respect. He doesn’t run The Tonight Show by himself.
