What about a writers' overhead? Sure they get a check for that $0.08, but that doesn't account for their costs in writing it, while the $4.75 (or whatever the figure is) does account for the studios' cost in producing it. Comparing the $0.08 to either extreme (gross sale or net profit) tells an incomplete story.
