throughout all of 1998. Petitioners were lessees of both

Mr. Radnitz has been engaged as a full-time freelance writer
since 1952 under the pseudonym Brad Radnitz. Mrs. Radnitz is an
actress. Mr. Radnitz primarily wrote screenplays for the film
and television industry and occasionally wrote novels. He
described the nature of his work as a writer as follows:
My work is speculative. It consists of researching and
developing story ideas, film treatments, TV series concepts,
scripts, and/or novels with the intent of selling them to
prospective employers, namely, the movie studios, the
networks, independent producers, and publishers.
By his estimate, Mr. Radnitz has written material for several
films and movies of the week and over 350 television shows,
including "The Lucy Show", "Gilligan’s Island", "My Three Sons",
"The Brady Bunch", "Ironside", and "Columbo". He is a former
president of the Writer’s Guild of America (Writer's Guild) and
has had professional involvement with that organization.
In the earlier part of his writing career, Mr. Radnitz wrote
and sold story ideas or screenplay treatments in the episodic
television field. These ideas were merely outlines for the
ultimate script. In his later career, he wrote more materials to
completion, then had an agent shop for a buyer. His works,
therefore, were not necessarily sold in the year of completion,
