  • I don't think I'm ignorant of the gig-work nature of these things - I am, by choice, a contractor, but in a different field (engineering services). But my contracts specify that the deliverables are "works for hire" and that the client owns all IP, and I am not entitled to residuals or royalties or any other income from the work I've done under such contracts.

    I just genuinely don't know if writers thought that they should be getting more. And if so, why?Because there are plenty of analogous (i.e. IP-generating) jobs that don't have such arrangements.

  • I'm just being descriptive. You asked why, that's why.

    I'm not saying it should be that way, or that it should not be changed now that it is that way. I'm here for US politics but I'd be happy if this became a world politics community and I had to subscribe to c/USPolitics (or whatever) as well.
