I have never understood that. My work is more useful then hollywoods people use my work everyday. But most people whould say I got paid fine when I did the work and whould think it absurd to expect to be paid over and over again. I have always wished I could get paid for work I did years ago.

See, unions do occasionally work! Thus, all those actors and writers, and producers, directors, choreographers etc who worked on those TV shows get paid when they get aired in syndication, when released to DVD, even when they get aired on an iPod. I don't see how this is news. It's obvious that these guys deserve their cut. Unlike the music industry, where the artists rarely get paid, in the world of Hollywood everyone gets paid.

ABC should be sharing the profits with these people though. Keyword, "should"....
