That analogy doesn't work
Because each flush of the toilet is free, whereas the studio makes money for each re-run etc of the movie or TV show.
I figure the point is that the movie etc is being sold for money, so the writers want a bit since they had a hand in creating it. Fair enough.
Unless they get paid a LOT when they first write it in the understanding that there will be no residual (thus the studio is taking the risk).
Oh well - who cares.
