Yes, you are correct. My bad for not looking into copyright law specifics before I posted.
I obviously don't know a lot about copyright law. I was merely trying to point out that in certain contractual situations, one party can set the rules (to a certain degree) subject to the other party's agreement. This also means that when one party has greater bargaining power (as with ski resorts setting the terms of their lift tickets), the other party has to either accept it or go somewhere else for its needs. I should have known, however, that copyright law has its own set of standards.
