Surely 'the work is done'? Leaving aside legalese, you're not making a
decision on the author's behalf - it's your decision to plagiarise,
attribute and/or profit. Whichever (unless the plagiarism is
undetected) you take the author to a wider audience.

Doesn't this make an assumption about how the artist expects to get paid?
The work may be done, but that doesn't mean that the doer of the work has
been paid, or paid in full.
