The future of the world's economy is Intellectual Property, and the more
intellectual property we all have, the better off we all are. It is therefore
incumbent on all of us to obtain this property--by, of course, stealing it from
someone who isn't so economically enlightened or financially deserving as
ourselves. When nobody can have a thought or make a movement without paying all
the people who thought or moved before them, then we'll all be instantly
fabulously wealthy on the thoughts of our descendents.
Or, so says Andrew Orlowski, and if he isn't paid enough to know these things,
who could be?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Else, every cover band would start claiming copyright for every
instrument in the band on songs they had no part in writing
whatsoever.
Not they wouldn't. They'd start claiming copyright
in their recordings of the songs. Which is in fact what they do. They have to
pay royalties to the songwriter though.
So I really don't see any problem
with an actor having a right to royalties (based on the percentage of the time
in the film as a whole that she is visible and audible of course). Provided that
she pays royalties to the scriptwriter, the screenplay writer, her costume
designer, her makeup artists, the director, the film editor etc. In fact, to
everyone that had a creative input into her role in the film. ---
