Yes but it would start to treat photos and images used in books (for 
instance) 
more like it currently treats audio used in video or films.

You could always allow that for you BY-SA works even if the license did not. 
You can grant extra freedoms, you can't impose extra restrictions. (I think.)

I think you are missing the Share-Alike idea. I want to share alike. Not have 
you share in my stuff to create and profit from stuff that I am restricted 
from profiting from if I get the inclination.

You want to allow someone to create a copyrighted work that includes your 
copyleft works and you not be able to deal with that work as the person 
making it does. That is not for me. If they are proponents of the permission 
culture, let them ask my permission. If they operate Freely, so do I, 
permission is already given in the license. They presumably already have to 
get someone else's permission to make the copyrighted work in question, how 
much harder is it to get my permission?

Lest you think this is from greed, note that BY-SA will certainly allow them 
to sell copies of my works and keep all the money for themselves. I am 
looking more for the Freedom.

all the best,
