Sacrilege!!!!
What?!!
Am I out of my mind? Should I be burned at the stake for even asking such a thing about the very small blood-soaked piece of Earth the WGA has fought for so valiantly for? Perhaps.
However, if an agent/manager/lawyer gets your script sold, which I would think it is fair to assume would not be sold otherwise-- or why would you need an agent/manager/lawyer... then it seems only fair that they would have some entitlement to all proceeds of that sale they helped actually make possible.
I would rather share the wealth than not have any in the first place....
It's not like it would hurt your reputation with you agent- unless you just really hate him or her- if they got a small check four times a year for work they helped you get.
If you want to hate on me for even asking the question that is fine, but if somebody can give me an intelligent answer besides "because that is the way it is" I would be glad to hear it.
