If they have the ability to create something like Star Wars, my own personal plan is that they don't sit on their ass for twenty+ years reaping the benefits of a single achievement.
Really, given all the need there is in the world, this is a genuine concern of yours?
EDIT: And I should also note, the people who actually created the film are not the ones who reap those benefits for twenty+ years. It's only the people who control the IP.
I’m an artist, I made something ten years ago that has continued to sell better than anything else I’ve done. It is nowhere near Star Wars big but it is the creative equivalent of a “lifestyle business”. This is, indeed, a genuine concern of mine that affects my own finances.
Well the argument is that you can enjoy the financial benefit of your creation for only twenty years, and while I understand why you would disagree, I still think that is fair.
I suppose I still think you're an entitled asshole, then, unless you are also working hard to make a world where everyone doesn't have to come up with money for rent and groceries on a constant basis. Fair enough.
I doubt this body has more than about sixty years in it at best, but I would certainly like to be able to continue to make money off of it while I'm still alive. Especially if my body starts to fall apart to the point where I can no longer make new work.
