That sounds good in theory - but, the only groups that will benefit from 
that are A) Lawyers and B) Producers - in that order. When there's only 
one contract for all the writers, one for all the directors, one for all 
the actors, etc - the same terms apply to everyone, and there's more 
eyes on it and it can be fair etc. When each person is signing their own 
contract it's easier for the producers - which are the big business, to 
slip things by, and of course more contracts means more lawyers to write 
the contracts.
