They're not the same thing.
A writer can choose to give up their copy rights to someone (like a publisher or movie studio), or in the case of ghost writing they never had the rights to their work in the first place. In the context of this thread/conversation, specifying who holds the copy right of a book actually matters. In this particular case, we have an author who holds full rights to what he writes. That's not standard, and since he knows that, he makes a point of specifying it, since it does make a difference for his arguments. So the overwhelming reason would be, "to avoid misunderstandings". Seems like a pretty good reason to me.

Which is fine, if we're talking about sharing with my husband, since we share a bank account anyway. But if I want to lend a book to a friend or co-worker, I'm not going to let them into my Amazon account. Particularly not the ones who don't even own a Kindle.
