A case of sour grapes - Obsession Art Director now demands more money after the film grosses more than the expected amount

Reply in thread

Well I'm not talking about creating an invention. I'm talking about building a product for someone else. If an architect creates a hotel for someone (no matter how insane or swaggy its design), they don't usually get the profits afterwards. They are paid for that construction job alone. That's more like what happened with this movie.

According to that logic, if you sell anything second hand, you should give a cut of that to the original manufacturer of the product? Plus what you're saying applies to all art. According to this logic, there should be no contracts and one-off jobs if it involves art. Every freelance graphic designer who designed a logo for a company has to now permanently get a stream of profits for every company they made a logo for.

Fuhrious Fattie German politician sends Gestapo to arrest person who called her fattie

Threatening to throw someone in jail if they insult a politician IS a restriction of free speech. How else do you restrict free speech? They can't install blocking devices inside a person's vocal chords that prevents the speech from even occuring.

This is like saying speeding is not restricted because people can still push the pedal beyond the speed limit. Of course they can! But there are state enforced consequences for it, which means that speeding is illegal (restricted).
