I don't understand this. Am I to cease getting paid for my work once a

Yes, and you're still getting a very generous deal.

Most people cease getting paid as soon as their work is finished. Artists can
continue to get paid for a lifetime after working just once. So it's best not
to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Seems like a case of demand determining price.


The demand for CDs has dropped dramatically.

OK, you're entitled. I just want my work to be given away without my
permission.


For a limited time. Not forever.
