110. So you think NewsCorp should have gotten every dime of
Avatar profits, none for the creators, the actors, the man who wrote it, directed it, developed the tech used to make it? He should get 'capped' and Rupert should get the rest?
Who should get the money when an author puts ink on blank pages and sells it for 3 million? Should the publisher get it for 500K, and keep the rest as 'non personal' income, ie profit for the corp? That is what you are advocating when you advocate for a cap. The corp can make billions from our work, yet we get 500k tops? How is that fair?
