    Bcs taking someone’s work & capitalize on it just because the original worker didn’t have the means to do so … some people might see as immoral in a lot of cases.

    One of the cornerstones of capitalism tho.

    Also note the huge difference scales, bcs it matters a lot: if you sell a peace of tech, or business, or property at fair price (like dcf or whatever), then you already got compensated justly or as close to that as possible with the information available at the time. But if you were forced to sell at an arbitrary fixed rate bcs the buyer forced you into it from their position of power over you (and made a huge profit in a short amount of time from that) … you might feel different about the situation.

    Like, even your, if you would be able to get secondly payouts, would you not collect them?

    Also, if the negotiations & payout would be fair, the strike would not make financial sense for any party, or have an effect on the business.
