That's absolutely true, but generally that sort of transfer needs more than clicking the box or an "I agree" of a EULA. As far as I am aware, wherever these kind of transfers take place the recommended practice is to either get a signed statement on paper or by fax, with the latter being regarded as somewhat shaky when brought in court.

That's the entire point - all this is entirely voluntary - nobody is forcing anyone to use iBooks Author who does not wish to do so.
Don't worry I don't claim, or intend to claim anything like that -- its just that it has potential to be interesting and controversial (whatever way it goes) from a legal point of view.
