As an example that we all should be able to understand, you have a successful site,making tons of cash and you have decided that your children should be able to continue it ater you ar gone but the second you snuff it, the site is free to be ripped off by all and sundry. thats not really fair is it?

Well, look at what he said...the grandchildren of Irving Berlin should NOT have any right to monetize their grandfathers work because they didn't do anything to earn it.
Yet, in the same breath the insinuation is made that the gideongalleries of the world SHOULD be able to monetize it. Even though they didn't do anything to earn it either!
So yeah, if a person works their entire lives and wants to leave something for his family that he loves...too bad! Instead all of his musical works should belong to GideonGallery and GatorB
Of course, if gideon or gator were the ones who actually DID something and wanted to leave that legacy to their children and grandchildren and their families...I think they might feel slightly different.
But that's just me. I'm sure if my name were Karl Marx I would feel more like the gideongallery types of this world.
