Right, as you can see, I picked up on it on second thought, but left the 
original in in case the second thought was wrong.

As I say, I would rather they leave that alone and create and promote, or at

With me, it came up here because, while using my song in a movie invokes a 
derivative and not mere aggregation, using my photo in a book is considered 
mere aggregation from what I have seen discussed. Sometimes, I think I would 
like the stronger restrictions/protections for works and situations other 
than music in video.
