The cure they propose isn’t much better than the disease. It has vague language that could let the original author, motivated by money from a third party, make bogus claims of damage to reputation and cancel the compulsory license. The result of this, if it had happened in the Glee fiasco, would have been even worse than what actually happened; JoCo would have had to pull his own track down and stop selling it.
IMHO, JoCo should have stated outright that his work was an act of parody. He would have had many more rights under a claim of fair use than under any compulsory mechanical license.
