It *could* wind up the way you describe, it *could*, just as easily, wind up differently. Are you entirely ignorant of the concept of licensing, or are you ignoring it to make your absolutist statements appear less absurd?

Writers aren't licensing their scripts to the studios. They are SELLING their scripts. In fact staff writers are paid regardless of whether the scripts they are writing are very good. When the studio buys the script, they own it.
If I buy a painting, should I send a check to the artist every time I look at it? Of course not. Could I make a deal like that? I could, but I'd be an idiot to do that and I shouldn't be forced or coerced into doing it by a bunch of painters picketing outside my house.
