Except your not doing that

your not defending the right to sell your work

you can do that even if the content is virtually in the public domain

your trying to defend the ability to stop other people from selling your content

if an artist puts all their shit out under CC-SA the content equivalent of GPL they can still sell their shit over and over again.

They just don't take that right to do the same thing away from other people .

Every job out there isn't this way, but part of creating art, especially art that can be duplicated easily and distributed over and over again is that you can get paid for it over and over again.
But why does it have to be that way

like i said you can still sell your shit over and over again even if you put everything under CC-SA (GPL)

that the point your trying to prove a point with an argument that is still true even if every artist was FORCED to put their shit out under CC-SA.

I am not advocating that, i am just pointing out that your argument justifies that too because even taking away all copyright control doesn't prevent you from selling your shit over and over again.
