This gets down to a sematic issue.

If I, as an individual copyright holder, assign full rights to (someone else), then that entity is *effectively* the owner. If that entity happens to be a "corporation", then we're right back to where we started in terms of corporations lobbying for "their" copyrights.

Again, a "corporation" is not necessarily an Evil Entity, but rather a certain kind of legal relationship between individual(s) and the government. I know a lot of *individuals* who incorporate *themselves* so they get Extra Special Treatment from the government that "corporation" status often enjoys.

This of course makes a mockery of the current corporation system, which is why the real solution to this overall problem would be to abolish said Treatment and make corporations have essentially the same legal status as individuals. However, limiting ownership of copyrights--or anything else that can be owned--is not the solution.
