I hate to throw cold water on this, and what I am saying does not detract from anything previously said in this thread - composers should be paid for their work obviously.
(And apologies if I have misunderstood the situation.) But imagine this scenario. A player comes to me with a request to play a particular piece which my group does not possess. My limited budget is already spoken for, even if it is not already spent. I may well say to them, yes, so long as you provide the music. This does not imply any change of attitude on my part - composers should be paid, nor does it make a value judgement on the piece - it's a question of finance and/or priority.
