    I don’t agree with what they’re asking for though, so why would I support them?

    They get hired to do a job (write or act), they get paid to do a job (very handsomely most of the time), and they do the job. That should be the end of the deal, like it is in almost every industry in the world.

    They want free money for life for doing the job that they were paid to do. I don’t agree with that, especially when all it would do is harm the rest of us through massively increased costs to watch the content that they were paid to make.
