...your lack of profit disturbing.

I was talking about resale and it seems that others thought I was talking about only selling a single copy.

I was under the impression the originator of the comment was attacking resale. I believe that an artist should get paid for original sales of their work. I do not believe they are entitled to additional payments when a resale occurs.

I have no issue with copyrights and I agree that 12 to 24 years is probably a good range. I thought the original poster was attacking resale and my response was geared that way. Artists should get paid for each original copy they sell.

Should you only get paid for first time a copy is sold? Yes.

People with normal jobs don't just work a day or two and expect to keep the money rolling in.

Obviously, they do it for the chicks.....

What about when a car is towed, or ferried, or moved some other way which gas isn't used?

How about driving through tunnels where you can get a GPS signal? I say we build our own underground road network!

I'm pretty sure my Nokia phone had that ability. It has since died a slow antenna loss death.

I'm pretty sure my old Nokia phone had that ability.
