Entertaining angry tirade on getting paid from Sci-Fi author Harlan Ellison

You might find this video tirade (3:24) from Harlan Ellison amusing, especially if you change "writer" to "animator." The topic is "getting paid for creative work."

From the web page:

If you’re a science fiction fan ... you might have heard of Harlan Ellison. He’s an award winning writer who wrote for TV series such as Star Trek, The Outer Limits, Babylon 5, and many more. Ellison is very good at what he does, and more importantly, he’s very outspoken about professionalism among writers. I use the word “outspoken” lightly here, and you’ll soon find out why.During an interview he gave, for the filming of Dreams with Sharp Teeth, an autobiography film about himself, Harlan Ellison gave a passionate speech about something that’s important to people in the creative field, GETTING PAID. (note: the following clip contains strong language)
