Do you there think there should be a mechanism to pass some nominal
payment back to you when someone buys your work nth hand?  (I guess your
publisher might not think the physical book is your work.)  You could for
example publicize a paypal account and I'd consider sending you 10% of the
purchase price of my copies of Jhereg etc purchased used maybe 10 years
ago...
