I’m with you. And no I don’t think authors or songwriters, or any artist should receive payments in perpetuity for a work they were already paid for. I don’t get paid in perpetuity for my work, why should they?
Before you try to explain why, just remember that most artists don’t make any money, they do it because they enjoy it. Making money from it should be a nice side effect, not the entire point.
