A rights-holder can pull their product from the market. ingmar's proposed legislation takes away that right by legalizing unauthorized copies if the rights-holder exercises that right.

And you've totally missed the point of statutory licenses. If you have EVER published a song, anyone that wants to can do a cover of it and you have no control over it whatsoever. They simply have to pay you the statutory license rate and they can do anything they want to with it. Nothing you can do can remove it. There are other statutory licenses in the world besides music. Music however is a copyright one.
