In regards to getting a "fair deal"
There are hundreds of jobs out there where the workers don't get paid fairly (and those other jobs don't even get the recognition of having your name in the credits).
But my view stays the same, if you don't like it, quit and get a better job.
As for writers getting paid very little per year, I am really, REALLY happy to hear that. Why?
Most of the stuff I see is pure crap and a large part of the blame goes to the writers (some of those writers are still overpaid even at those rates).
Sometimes when you walk out of the cinema don't you wish you could get your money and time back?

Not here! We get a mix of NZ, Aussie, UK and US television. All my favourite American shows were cancelled anyway, so I'm even less affected!
