Your problem is that you are talking about copyright and we are talking about rights.
They are totally different.
The only right that copyright gives the average BWM author is the right to have their name written in pretty letters on their books.
The other rights are owned by the publishers. But like you said, they don't own the
copyrights.
I call a Red Herring.
