Wait - so in a job that is only market-regulated in terms of salary (the union handles residuals, etc), you're really going to claim that the "bad" writers are holding back the good from profiting off their own works?
This really seems completely ignorant of how a market works - and either way, they're asking for a cut of the sales of their own products, regardless of your perception of quality. Somebody has to buy it to get paid - this really obviates any "quality" arguments completely.
