Assuming we all believe in Capitalism, here, then fair compensation is the compensation that both parties negotiated and agreed to; whatever percentage and/or price I negotiate with the publisher, that's fair. The point about about "compensated fairly" was not only that certain consumers could get said work without compensation at all, but also that under certain conditions I do get compensated but for less than what I agreed to in good faith. Again, some of these situations apply even if I'm a great guy and selling books for the visually impaired.
