True enough, but the important thing is for courts to continue to recognize that copyright exists to protect the rights of those for whom it is, by law, automatically established--the creators, not the distributors. That those rights must be bartered away for the creators to achieve certain other goals like certain kinds of success is a different part of the problem.
