I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. Get around what?

The new BY-SA 2.5 allows people to "designate a third party" that can 
receive attribution instead of the author. This was done to make the 
license wiki-friendly. Now I'm trying to figure out what set of words 
will allow me and my friends to use the license in that way.

It'd be great of Creative Commons provided a sample copyright statement 
that people can re-use. Like the GNU people do.

Cheers,
Daniel.
