Yes, it would - although I think that the approach I proposed of
'section A - rights you hold' and 'section B - rights held by others'
would be even clearer.

So, if I just bulk-uploaded data from somewhere else, the 'Your Contents'
would effectively be empty.  The upload would consist entirely of 'Other People's
Contents'.
