My risks are not covered by the law. I do not see why their risk should be.

I really don't see that it's any different to the situation where, to pick an arbitrary example, I buy a house and leave it to my heirs. My heirs are benefiting from that property in precisely the same way that an author's heirs are benefiting from royalty income. Neither has done anything to earn it. Why would you make an arbitrary distinction between the two situatuon?
