They just don't take that right to do the same thing away from other people .
But why does it have to be that way
like i said you can still sell your shit over and over again even if you put everything under CC-SA (GPL)
that the point your trying to prove a point with an argument that is still true even if every artist was FORCED to put their shit out under CC-SA.
I am not advocating that, i am just pointing out that your argument justifies that too because even taking away all copyright control doesn't prevent you from selling your shit over and over again.

You are correct. If you create something you can sell it over and over again even if it is out there for free. Music and movies prove that every day. You can get just about any record or movie for free on a torrent site if you want it yet millions still choose to pay for them every day. I am not arguing that that is not that case. I am arguing that if the product continues to sell that the artist should be paid for it. If an artist released an album 20 years ago and people are still buying it, the artist should get paid for it. They should get paid for life from any sales of the album and Commander thinks otherwise.
