And I'll ask again (since you failed to address it):
How does one compensate someone who is dead?
And I'll ask some more:
How do you, an author, compensate every other author you've stolen ideas from?
How do you compensate the public for the ideas you've taken from the public domain?
Copyright, as it stands today, is immoral. It permits a few to take but not give back.
IHMO: any author that releases any work under a standard copyright (as opposed to something like Creative Commons) intends to defraud the public.

It's common sense to respect the disrespectful?
You need to reevaluate your expectations.
