Why is the work not an apartment?

In one of the topics on the theme of "Eternal Copyright" flashed another thesis of copyright holders:

Moreover, copywriters for this have already summed up the ideological base. Like, the rights to ordinary property are eternal, so how is IP worse? And they always give an example: would you like your apartment to be in the public domain N years after your death, and your heirs will simply be thrown out of it? But they didn’t earn it, they just received a freebie by inheritance ...

Let's figure it out?


So, here is the apartment that your great-great-great someone got there.
He gave it to his son, one to his son, one to his, etc. etc. As a result, the apartment went to you.
By law, you and your ancestors are required to pay rent, pay for water, gas, electricity and other amenities of life. Type of property tax if the apartment is privately owned.
If you pay, then everything is OK, but even then there are subtleties, such as they plan to lay a new highway through the district, or the house is put under demolition due to dilapidation.

This is so, “general situation”, if your apartment is the only living space.
If not, there are subtleties in the style that for each subsequent apartment you own, the tax and rent will grow quite briskly. Just for the very fact of owning EXCELLENT living space!

“But I have this area for a reason! I have it for a reason! People live there, who pay me money for this! ”- an abstract citizen will be indignant.
- Great! - the official from the tax will be delighted. - Do you pay taxes for commercial activity ??? Yes, yes, from every apartment! What, and really profits exceed ... ??? Be so kind - taxes at a higher rate, sir!
Etc. etc.
Moreover, the tax on the MARKET VALUE and the rent rate depend on the size of the apartment !!!

You can’t pay, a debt has arisen on paying rent, etc. etc.? The apartment is confiscated, and you will be moved to a communal apartment to hell. According to law. The apartment will go into that very “public domain”.

And, yes, we are now talking about a “special case” when the apartment is honestly yours.

There is also the so-called “Housing provided”: this is when something to lure a prominent scientist to teach at a university - he is provided with an apartment for living from a university. Alas and ah - according to the law, an apartment on the "campus" belongs to the university, no private property and its sale to anyone!
Here the heirs can at least hang themselves - after the death of the teacher, the apartment returns to the fund of the university! True, often one of his descendants continues to study and teach at the university, so in this case they can leave the apartment.

And now we turn to the works:
Here someone wrote a book and started selling it. Well, actually, well done, keep it up, the state believes in you and even tries to protect you from arrogant pirates.
Dead? Sorry.
And do the heirs want money for what was written by a great ancestor?

From apartments differs a little? Yes? Or maybe from something else ???

Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov was a labor pensioner - worked the devils for how many years at construction sites, receiving a salary and paying taxes from it. And then he received a pension from these taxes. But what a pity - the poor man died!
And then comes, you know, his son, Vasily Ivanovich, and declares:
- How so - where are the grandmothers !?
- What grandmas? - the people are surprised.
- Did my father work?
- Worked.
- Did you get a pension?
- Was getting!
“Why don't you pay me ?!”
- FOR WHAT?!
“Because he worked!”
Is funny ???
This is a saying!
Time passes, and the son has died. And here the grandson is declared and begins to demand that he would now pay his grandfather's pension! After all, it was his grandfather who worked once!
And then the great-grandson begins to be indignant that the great-grandfather's pension is deprived, etc. etc.
Rave? Rave.
Nobody takes away his great-grandfather: to be proud and tell everyone what a man he was, that he worked for so many years and built a bunch of everything - no one bothers him. But why on earth should the state pay his great-grandfather's pension ?!

Or a thread Demyan Demyanich, a well-deserved war veteran, went through the war from the first to the last day, a thread danced on the ruins of Berlin. Chest in orders, etc. etc.
Nobody forbids descendants to own medals and orders of their great-grandfather and be proud of them. They can put it in the window so that the people penetrate. But what can you say about his grandson, who will fasten his grandfather's medals and go to the parade in them ???

Rave? Blasphemy?
I don’t know, but now even the descendants of Disney receive a Milne’s pension for Winnie the Pooh, and some left-wing offices shine with “orders” of long-dead composers ...
And turning the keys to a “completely honestly purchased apartment” on their finger, they argue that everything should be so to be.
Sad

PS Nonsense, confusion, etc. etc.? Wash already somehow sorry. And there, you see, great-great-great what kind of bonuses to karma will receive if this nonsense will develop in the same direction. After all, you add your great-grandson to karma if you liked the article? True true???
