Perhaps there should be two forms of copyright.
Onre for using the work for a derivative purpose, and one where any one who is making money of the actual work itself, even if value added.
If for example I sold an authors work as the authors work, and just added an intro, the author and/or their estate would get paid. If I merely quoted the author, and the work was mostly my own no payment necessary after the copyright expired.
