I am arguing that if the product continues to sell that the artist should be paid for it. If an artist released an album 20 years ago and people are still buying it, the artist should get paid for it. They should get paid for life from any sales of the album and Commander thinks otherwise.

there is a huge difference
as you just pointed out you can sell your shit over and over again even if it given away for free everywhere.

So what happens when you want a new PS3? Do you walk into Best Buy and tell them you'll buy it after you try it?

the difference is that if you take a physical product and try it before you buy it that product can't be sold
that inventory is gone while you try it
as you acknowledged you can still sell your shit over and over again even if it given away for free everywhere legally.

When asked he felt this should be the same for everything. You should be able to take a car, drive it for a couple of years and then decide it met your standards and pay for it. You should be able to order food, eat the full mean and then decide if it was good enough for you to pay for. If you bought a book and didn't like it you should be able to return it for a full refund. The guy was amazing and he really thought that by doing it this way it force businesses to put our higher quality products.

funny thing is you see the flaw in the logic when it used to make a counter arguement
but you don't see it in your own arguement.
