As for a proper place for the copyright page? Can you let us know what standard states that immediately after the title page is the one and only correct page for the copyright page? Or is this yet another confusion between IMO and it's cast in stone?
I just checked 24 physical books. 12 of the had the copyright page between the title and half title page, 6 had the copyright page after the half title page, 5 had the copyright page after the dedication page and 1 buried the copyright page at the end of the book.

The reasons to have the copyright page after the title page is because that's were it's always been in pBooks and so when you look at a preview, you get to see the copyright and if there is a version number, you get to see that. So you can see if a new version was released since the one you've downloaded.
