Sorry, I don't really understand what you're saying. I still don't see what you're calling a "land grab." Copyright holders have a right to own their copyrights, and to be paid for their usage. Now, if you're talking about the changes the government has made to public domain laws, I fully agree on that, but I'm not sure if that's what you mean or not.
