I mostly agree, but some  points...

Public Domain  release is peculiar to some  states, as USA.

In France some  CC flavors are legal  regarding intellectual  property rights, 
but IMHO not CC0.

Situation is worse with human being  models, because contracts  cannot  be  
perpetual (~slaving).

Even taking a picture in  a town turns now to a real  problem, as "land" is 
polluted by copyrighted material (from buildings to installations, bridges, 
even Eiffel tower lightnings). There is no more public spaces, they are just 
*stolen*.

It seems > 170 yo artifacts in  museums begins to be  unclear too, and  there 
were problems  in  the  last ten  years with ancient  books numerisation  
(contracts  with distribution exclusivity), while I missed how all that ended 
(suited  time to time...).

Historically, copyright has protect publishers first, not authors.
