Does this mean that a professional athlete that has drawing power for thousands of fans is a sellout when they negotiate these now-commonplace contracts for millions of dollars? I think it may be called equity... these people provide a marketable product or service, and demand will drive the price up, therefore their share should also increase. I'd have bought a ticket to see "Dude, Where's my Car" had it been associated with Kevin Smith. (albeit only once)
