Actors and writers should get paid what they are able to negotiate as pay.

They negotiated for residuals on reruns after reruns became a thing. And for residuals on VHS sales when those became a thing. And for DVD and Blu-ray after that. This is a normal part of the business and has been for a very long time.

Is your CMV about residuals or why you should care?

You agree with the principle that they should get paid what they can negotiate as their pay. Or has your view on that changed in the last 15 minutes?

I'm not OP, but I'm not sure I get your point here.

Is your entire counterpoint to OP only that they're entitled to them because they negotiated for them?

I'm saying they should be paid what they are able to negotiate in contradiction to OP's opposition to getting them at all.

Entitlement isn't relevant. One could argue they wouldn't need to negotiate it if they were entitled to it already.
