I just don’t understand why some folks feel that artists are not entitled to continue to profit from their works at least until they die, or for a period of time thereafter (the thereafter meaning their estate of course).

Copyright is a time limited monopol granted by the state t0 encourage production. It is not a natural right to earn money on what you do. The monetary value on it is only there because of the time limited monopol given by the state. The thing is that is that copyright have bad effects that we do not want. So we want to minimize that harm that is done by copyright and still keep the encouragement to produce.
