Companies will act out of greed and use their customers and developers as "human shields" to get out of their responsibility. Your on-call duty should be paid by the hour just as any duty, doubling the pay on weekends, holidays and nights. "But the poor developers" is just the "we will hurt this poor innocent puppy"-defense. The evil ones are the ones inflicting the hurt, the greedy companies. Not the reporters.
