You'll hear people ridiculing this idea in exactly those terms. Well, I am not sure what we should do about publishing modified versions of these aesthetic works. One possibility is to do something like what is done in music, which is anyone's allowed to rearranged and play a piece of music, but they may have to pay for doing so, but they don't have to ask permission to perform it. Perhaps for commercial publication of these works, either modified or unmodified, if they're making money they might have to pay some money, that's one possibility. It's a difficult question what to do about publishing modified versions of these aesthetic works and I don't have an answer that I'm fully satisfied with.
