Say goodbye to new TV...

The shovel is the product someone was paid to design. They don't own the shovel factory. They don't own the design for the shovel. They were paid to design a shovel. Even assuming they do own the design for the shovel and license it to the company, they would be paid once for each shovel sold. Digging a hole is the use of the shovel.

It's unreasonable for the shovel designer to expect to be paid while designing the shovel, then paid again for each shovel sold, and again for each use of the shovel.

The writers are paid WELL to write the script, and they are paid residuals for each time it is aired on television, now they want to be paid each time someone looks at it on the internet. It's unreasonable.
