Do you feel the same way with collectible cars? Every time a 69 Thunderbird is sold, Ford should get a cut in the upside? How do you feel about the inverse? If a painting goes down in value, is the artist on the hook for the downside of their creation? The answer is no, the creator handed over the creation on sale. Anything else would need to be hashed out in a contract which would drastically reduce sale price.
I don't have feelings about it either way. I think you're reading way too much into my comment. It's just a new interesting way to structure a contract. Neither good nor evil. I certainly don't think it's "evil" like the comment I replied.
Yes, I did forget the OP. I don't understand how people getting paid is evil either. Whether that comes in a huge lump sum at the beginning or in interest overtime, it doesn't really matter. There is going to be a cash flow analysis that will tell you how much one version of the contract is worth relative to the other. My comment was more that these contracts aren't new, they just aren't particularly useful because it is hard to think of a contract in perpetuity.
