How about considering what the designers really want the copyrights to give them protection from:
1. People publishing their technique and directions in another book. 2. People going into business mass producing their design with 3rd world labor for the big box stores. 3. People selling instructional DVD's using their techniques. I'm sure no designer is going to hire a lawyer and go to court if they see that their design is hanging in a country fair competition. However, If I publish a book with their copyright info in it they will go to court for their royality rights. Anyone would.
