I swear I read somewhere that you cannot NOT get the rights to your work
since copyright is automatic.

So, if you write something, copyright is automatically assigned to you,
and that the only way to give them up was to license them away.

Not that I should believe everything I read...

Well, it's either be a complete piece of crap that no one will read,
or it will be something that puts IP law into a historical perspective
the makes it plainly obvious to the average citizen just how out of
whack things have gotten and causes a complete reform of IP law in the US.

I haven't quite figured out which it is...
