       Not to pick a fight, but most of the time the writer of the DVD 
(with the one obvious exception) gets paid for the movie, TV show 
whatever and the DVD is largely a secondary market. To my mind, the 
better example would be what the author gets for the paperback edition. 
How does that compare as a %age of purchase price to what you guys and 
gals are getting for DVDs.
