Legally, yes. A person under the age of 18 has no rights except through his parents or gaurdians. They’re supposed to safeguard him until he reaches his majority. That can mean controlling every aspect of his life.
On the other hand, I read of a 16-year old that started a software company and earned 3.5 million dollars.

This is a matter of Control.
The manufacturers of Wii are trying to control you.
They used psychological control techniques to get you to squander your hard earned money on the Wii, now they have your money.

Answer:
Who is paying the bills where you live??? Buying the groceries, your clothes, paying the rent, paying the utilities… ??? Even if they take every dime you make, it won't just be “for themselves”… If you're working, you should be paying into the family pot.
