Believe it or not, but there is a way that authors could be happy to transfer copyright of their work to the GRAMMY Foundation, and that is on condition that the GF granted the author a CC-SA licence. 1) The copyright isn't actually worth anything anyway. Who are you going to sue? 2) The CC-SA licence prevents GF suing the author for the liberties they should be able to take with their own work. 3) The author doesn't need to suspend anyone's liberty so doesn't need the copyright anyway - just the CC-SA. So, before you get all uppity and think you deserve the copyright, and GF should be happy with a non-exclusive license like the CC-SA, why not demonstrate where the value lies? Give the GF the unethical copyright, and let them give you the licence. Stop prizing the copyright! Prize the liberty obtained from its nullification. Liberty is the right you should prize. Liberty is the right that is suspended by copyright. Copyright is a commercial privilege - not a right. Reserve all of your rights. Reject all of your privileges.
