As has been said before, this is not due to Copyright laws, and has not 
been properly tested in court.  However, you as a publisher, would 
agree that it is a lot easier, faster, and less painful to just pay the 
author/artist/syndicate than to sue them for extortion.  And so the 
practice continues.
