But the milk is a physical thing. You consume it, and it's gone. Music
used as branding in a piece of media that can be played over, and
over, and over and seen/heard by millions of people is different than
a gallon of milk a few people will drink.
Have you ever *bought* music, and by bought, I mean bought the full
rights to any music to do as you please? Most times you are licensing
it. CD's you buy at the store? You don't own those, you don't have the
right to do whatever you want with it. You're just paying for the
rights to do with it what the record companies will allow you to do
with it.
You've never paid for anything more than once? What about seeing a
movie in a theater more than once, or a band perform more than once.
I understand your point, but how would you feel if you sold me
unlimited rights to one of your podcasts and I then made millions of
dollars off of it?
