There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

If it is physical stock the money goes to the store as the store has already purchased the goods. In an abstract sense the money would likely go to the owner of the IP unless there was a deal regarding distribution or creation of that specific thing.
Yeah that was another element I was wondering about, but couldn't sort out how to ask without what struck me as a convoluted title question. If I understand right on this point, you're saying with say, shows/books/movies/shows/games/etc., it tends to go to the IP owners apart from any other arrangements?
So another form of this, even if the publisher/creative company goes under, but the work is still being sold, may involve the money going to some obscure holding company that bought up the IP?
