Nothing entitles you to be paid over and over for the work you did one time.

Baloney. It depends ENTIRELY upon the deal you strike at the outset. Owning a business is irrelevant.
It *could* wind up the way you describe, it *could*, just as easily, wind up differently. Are you entirely ignorant of the concept of licensing, or are you ignoring it to make your absolutist statements appear less absurd?
