Artists may have a right to get paid for the creation of their work but they
shouldn't have the right to be repeatedly paid for life for something they
only did once - this is like a carpenter wanting to be paid everytime
someone sits in a chair he made 50+ years ago or Ford wanting be paid
everytime you start your engine even if you're still driving a model T. 

These companies claim that if something is easily reproduced then they
should be paid for every copy but isn't it fairer that if something is that
easy to reproduce then it has no real value in the first place and only the
creation of the first copy should be paid for.
