Firstly, it is already tweaked for songs used in film/video - see the sync 
bits. Secondly, I am not proposing art form specific tweaks.

What I propose is to consider if the meta work which uses a BY-SA work gets a 
copyright in law, if it does, the meta work must have an approved Free 
license and all works contained in that meta work must have an approved Free 
license. Otherwise permission is needed to *make copies* of the BY-SA work. 
(Perhaps distribute copies too?)

In other words control the license to copy rather than / as well as the 
license to make derivatives.

Is this or is this not possible?
What are the pros for this if it is possible?
What are the cons for this if it is possible?
