My point is that the movie is being recycled for profit specifically. As long as thats abolished, I agree with you I think. But if the corporation is still profiting off a living person's labor like that, residuals seem like the way to compensate for that.
I do agree there's kind of a disconnect between how this is done in the entertainment industry vs other industries, but I think as long as profit is being made by "recycling labor" then ideally yes compensation should occur for that. I realize this would lead to complicated situations like, say, a private person using a sewing machine to do a craft and then selling it on etsy, do they owe the worker who made that sewing machine residuals? Its a weird road to go down. But I don't think movies, music, and TV on streaming services are complicated in any way because thats a situation where a corporation is making money off people's recycled labor in perpetuality, and currently those people make nothing off of that and the bosses do.
