But, with the very greatest respect, Moejoe, the author is the only one who has the right to decide which of those distribution models he or she wishes to use. You may have a view on what the author "should" be doing, but that does not give you the right - either morally or legally - to redistribute the author's work without their permission should he or she wish to stick to your option 1 above.
