If he publish the work without in advance securing compensation then I do not see how he is entitled to compensation. But the issue was really the entitlement that people writing a book expect to make money from it or being able to live on the income.

I think it is more like people write books and hope that they actually make a few bucks. some do, some don't.
Now I will ask a few questions. Do you feel that if you read a book the author should get paid a few cents. If you read a great book (in your opinion), are you willing to spend a few bucks on the next one?
I am not sure about lawn movers as I have never had a lawn moved, but people who mow your lawn with their own lawn mower typically charge more so at least the lawn mower owners get payment if not the lawn mower itself. Obviously some lawn mower abuse going on.
