Beginning in 2036, Wikipedia editors will
obtain the right to demand
either payment for their contributions, or in the alternative if the
Foundation can't replace their edits with non-infringing
substitutions, between $750 and $150,000 per edit.
I suppose editors always have the right to demand payment for their
contributions if that's what they really want. But as to the idea that they
could further threaten to get statutory damages imposed, I'd advise that
rather than relying on selective quotations from 17 USC 203, they at least
review the entire section. I note that it also provides a limitation on the
effect of termination, specifically that derivative works prepared before
termination may continue to be utilized.
