[Page] 47 [My Comments] Welcome to Soviet Union, comrade Patry. This is exactly the framework that existed in the Soviet Civil Code of 1964. According to s. 479 of this pinnacle of legal socialist thought, an author had the right (a) to publish, reproduce and distribute his work in any manner permitted by law under his name, pseudonym or anonymously; (b) to enforce integrity of his work and (c) to receive remuneration for the use of his work by third parties, unless otherwise prescribed by the law. The amount of remuneration was to be prescribed by the Government. On top of that, all potential licensees in the Soviet union were state-owned. And if that was not enough, the government always had a right to get a compulsory license for the use of any work. Authors should not get paid unless someone is voluntarily willing to pay to use their works. Likewise, consumers should not be entitled to use other people’s works unless they agree to such use. Having an exclusive right does you good if you value that right, and many authors do, regardless of whether they get paid to give it away or not. [Quote from Patry’s book] 
A new structure must provide twenty-first-century solutions to getting authors paid and giving the public access to their creations. This will involve in many (but certainly not all) cases changing the fundamental nature of copyright from a grant of exclusive rights into a right of remuneration: a right to be paid through statutory licensing, collective management of rights, and levies. Having an exclusive right does you no good if you can’t get paid.
