But *now*, authors do *not* irrevocably give the printers their copyrights.
Musicians do. As do screenwriters. Do most book authors not?
Some make the copyright assignment with a reversion clause, so that if
the book (or article) isn't published within a reasonable time the
rights revert to the author. And more authors are trying to sell limited
rights assignments like "First North American printing rights" that
allows them to sell the same material again later or elsewhere or in a
different format such as a screenplay based on a novel.
