Yes, and the owner of a popular nightclub could allow certain acts to play 
original and derived BY-SA works in his nightclub, and deny other bands the 
same opportunities. So I guess you might tell Greg that this nightclub 
platform monopoly is functionally equivalent to the platform monopoly he 
posits?

One thing I will warn all of is is that copyright law is not clean. it is 
dirty and does not necessarily make sense. We have to deal with it as we find 
it until we can improve it.

Do you really think that these examples you are putting forward are 
equivalent 
to the blessed only DRM platforms that concern some of us greatly, or are you 
just trying on some reduction ad absurdum arguments?

all the best,
