And an artist who does a painting or a sculpture doesn't make any 
money when the work is later resold (often at a much higher figure as 
the artist's reputation grows). Is this not a similar injustice? How 
about used books? Should the writer get a cut every time the book 
changes hands?

I think this thread we've been following is one of the most slippery 
ethical issues one could possibly attempt to resolve. Personallly, I 
can agree with the rationale and justification for all of the 
viewpoints, depending on how I look at it - which leaves me in an 
opinionless void. Kind of a nice place to be, all things considered.
