THERE OUGHTA BE A LAW! Calif Legislators Go After Unfair Hollywood Accounting
Nikki Finke’s Deadline Hollywood Daily: "The California State Senate Judiciary Committee today passed Senate Bill 1765, the Fair Market Value Bill. It was introduced by Senator Sheila Kuehl (D-Los Angeles) and coauthored by State Senators Darrell Steinberg, Gloria Romero, Carole Migden, Elaine Alquist and Assembly Members Fiona Ma, Sandré Swanson, and Mike Davis. The bill would end the practice by some major studios of “underselling” television series or movies, thus shortchanging the talent community as well as production workers."

I think it's so sad that this needs to be prevented by making a law. It's really discouraging for artists and crew alike that the company you're working for is trying to screw you for money while jointly taking all the credit for your work. I'm glad that at least this has come to the public eye and it is being taken care of in a way.
