    I find the "collection" concept to be disturbing,  since it's fuzzy 
around the edges.  I mean,  it has to include things like:

"...For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical work, 
performance or phonogram, the synchronization of the Work in 
timed-relation with a moving image ("synching") will be considered an 
Adaptation for the purpose of this License"

    This is obviously discriminatory against a television show as 
compared to a radio program.  It's also discriminatory against the 
existing motion picture medium as compared to media which have yet to be 
discovered.

    Has anybody tested this stuff in court?
