[Page] 179 [My Comments] Says who? If the author is willing to compromise his ability to pay the bills in favour of being able to control the use of his works, who are we to thwart it? And if the author wants to get paid when the public is not willing to pay for the use of his works, who are we to use taxpayers’ money to fund it? [Quote from Patry’s book] 
Insisting on control, insisting on the ability to always say no, insisting that “it’s my property and everyone who uses my work without my permission is a thief,” may make one feel self-righteous, but it won’t pay the bills. A right of remuneration, not the ability to say no to things you can’t control anyway, must be the new focus.
