selling your art and selling the right to create are different things. I sell my art all the time, and it gets copied and redistributed, and even more people come to me to buy more art.
They aren’t selling the right to create (whatever that means) when working on a movie though. They aren’t even selling the art.
It was never theirs to begin with.
They get paid to produce art and when they have done that their job is done.
Nothing wrong with that. They sell their time and skill just like any other worker. It’s not like electricians own parts of your home after they have worked on it.
If they want to keep the rights they should specify that in their contracts and probably work freelance or something.
Yes, they are selling the right to create. NY Times did not create Wordle, but they bought the right to. So no one else is allowed to create something like it. The people that literally created the Wile Coyote movie, they cant get together to remake it because they dont own the right to create what they literally created. The whole concept of buying the right to create has done just awful things to any form of art and puts most of the resources into the hands of people that do not create at all.
