That one is simple. I think Rick summed it up best when we did the EU
consultation on Levies a year or two back, with the question "Who gets
compensated for what, by whom, and on what basis".
The term "compensation" is appropriate for paying someone to do a job,
That does not fit the situation of playing a copy of a published work.
Internet users do not owe any "compensation" to artists.
The valid goal is "to support artists and thus support art".
