Normally, I don't support unions, because I feel that if people are unhappy with their jobs, no one is stopping them from finding a new one.
However, with this, the money is going to the big-wig execs who don't do anything but sit on their asses, planning which new yacht they want to add to their current existing fleet. I do think the writers should be paid for duplication of their work, regardless of the medium in which it is duplicated.
Being self-employed, I would be mighty upset if someone bought a production from me and went to duplicate it on their own, considering I don't charge much to begin with. Now, if I raised my prices, I probably wouldn't care what they do with it. But, I charge about 25% of the normal market prices for services, including post (editing). With that, my clients are usually understanding in buying additional copies from me for $5-$10 each, depending on how they're packaged.
