Steve — It still seems to me that a risk is a risk, great or small, business model or no business model, but leaving that aside…

If we accept your argument, how should writers protect their interests here? The movie industry is legendary for its creative accounting such that successful movies don’t actually make money on the books.

In the music business, it seems that many record companies have decided that “they can only afford to pay” artists who would otherwise sue them. Small stars are stiffed for their back royalties.
