Be careful of proposals to &ldquo;compensate the rights holders&rdquo;, because when they say &ldquo;compensate&rdquo;, they're trying to presume that if you have appreciated a work, you now have a specific debt to somebody, and that you have to &ldquo;compensate&rdquo; that somebody. When they say &ldquo;rights holders&rdquo;, it's supposed to make you think it's supporting artists while in fact it's going to the publishers&mdash;the same publishers who basically exploit all the artists (except the few that you've all heard of, who are so popular that they have clout).
