Depends on the clout of the artist, I mean Armin's mix of (title escapes me), the label pressed more and there was not a damn thing he could do about it. Carl Cox turns down tons of songs, heck he has remixes done and then they don't make the album. I mean I think Paul van Dyk could say what remixes he wanted (tho the label responsible for his output, he owns). It all depends on the contract you sign and the clout you have. Sasha turned down an xpander remix and told the label to fuck off and the wavy gravy remix comp was born. I think the bigger artist you are, the more clout you have. I mean I think Sarah Mclachlan has some say into the remixes that are done but I bet she leaves it to the management because she is making a boatload of money. I mean if my bank account grows because of remixes then I don't think that many people would stop. I mean I don't think Island (I think still with U2) would tell Bono that they were having this remix done and there was not a damn thing he could do about it, I mean U2 is probably one of the bigger selling bands on that label, if not the biggest. So I'm sure Bono would be asked, who do you want to remix because if a band is making you a ton of money, you are going to do everything you can to keep them.
