Who cares what it looks like to everyone else? These are creative people who put out a unique product. They are leveraging that in order to make a more fair cut on these other areas. Studios have started making money in different areas without considering the writers. Why shouldn't the writers get a cut?

Really good writers should be every bit as well compensated as really good actors.

And hair stylists? Makeup people? Completely interchangeable. Put out a want ad and 100 people will send resumés.
