To get down to brass tacks, anything anyone does in any medium (tangible
medium, i guess is the term in the law), at least here in the U.S., is
copyright, whether you put the little symbol on it or not. Unless you
explicitly note that it's not, which the Nc symbol would, i suppose, do
(but maybe to a lawyer, no, so don't quote me on that).
my hypothetical alternate symbol, whatever it would be, would not be
something official or legal, it's just a message, indicating that you look
at things a little different. but it doesnt give away any rights. If
negotiations break down, well, then you still own the copyright and you
can unleash your lawyer.
