Yeah you're right about the derivative works thing. I glossed over it mostly because that seemed pretty much useless to me in the realm of visual art. But I suppose there are a few scenarios where that ability to get protection is meaningful.

Either way, I can't see a way that this would have been good for anyone if this guy got what he wanted.
