    Another counter argument:

    Residuals are analogous to equity in the tech industry.

    You almost certainly received part of your compensation as stock or stock options. You can hold onto your shares and receive dividends long after you have left the company you contributed to.

    Residuals are like equity in a movie or film, rather than a company.
