I have never been able to figure that one out, either, but I can assure you, that's exactly what happens in the vast majority of author/publisher contracts. I have had wildly successful authors tell me to my face (well, in my email), that they don't have a clue about what rights they have or don't have, and have no control over what the publishers do with their work.
