Pagan groups would be substantially disadvantaged, until they lay claim to copyright on the various pre-Christian artistic works; I can think of several Hellenic Reconstructionist groups that would benefit from royalties from sales of the Iliad.

Wouldn't Pagan groups benefit from the proceeds of Christan religious artworks? IIRC a lot of the visuals we have in (especially older) religious artworks are based on older Pagan works...
