Agreed. Many people reflexively assume that it is “fair” to allow content
providers to monopolize their creations, yet at the same time exploit them
for perpetual financial gain. Is it “fair” for me to be able to write a
song in half an hour, and reap royalty payments from it for the rest of my
life, while the next guy spends half a year building a house and sells it
for a one time payment, never to see another dime from his investment?
