Sure there are ways to get paid, and there are ways for people not to pay. My answer is--accept it.

That goes for a couple lines quoted from a song, or a poem, or a play, or a photo. Consider it shared for all eternity. You get more publicity by being out there and introduced to the public creating possible sales than hiding behind a legal wall chomping your fingernails worrying that someone is gonna touch your stuff.
