I don't understand why it's not the other was around and the parents only get access to a certain percentage of the income. They're profiting of another persons work.

We’d have to change a few laws in this country so that minors can do things like open a bank account and sign employment contracts without their parents.

The idea is one parent is at the movie set with the child actor. That parent is no longer working a job with a salary. This the parent gets paid from the kid's salary to replace the money they could be earning at a normal job.

You don't want to just leave your kid at a movie/tv set.
