I have often wondered how a musician (and his descendants?) can earn money for many years`from 'one performance' issued on a CD - compare this to a musician in say the 18th century, and compare to the rest of us, whose creative work, once done and money earned, has gone
Yes - I guess I meant when I said 'has gone' is that we earn nothing more from it. Another example of this would be a soccer (or football) player. Yes they earn far too much money entertaining us but ... their worth and wage is dependent on todays performance on the pitch, they cannot refer back to games gone by for earnings and status.
