There is no artist's right to make money off one's work. There are no laws that say, "I made this, therefore you must pay me." There are, rather, laws that say "if you make something, you're allowed to control some aspects of how it's used for a while, in exchange for turning it over to the public eventually."

There's still no right to a profit. There's only a right to *attempted* profits, and some restrictions on other people's abilities to make profits.
