I was a cabinet/furniture maker/finish carpenter before I retired. I should go back and demand a payment for every time someone sits in a chair I made or uses a drawer in a cabinet I made and installed, huh? I could be retired in luxury instead of merely in a pedestrian, respectable fashion.
Someone hires you to do a job, you do it, you get paid for it, you move on to the next job.

It's a bad analogy though. You don't sell a single chair to many people, the economics are completely different.
