No, its nothing like the current system. In the current system having different entities holding different rights is negotiated. If I write a novel, I can grant all or some of the rights to a publisher. Further at the end of any contract period, the rights will revert to me. It is like the fact that with the current life +70 copyright period that you often times have multiple parties holding a share of the copyright, some of whom might prove impossible to find or might hold up publication despite the desires of the majority of rights holders.
