I've been always been confused by the very concept of an ownership statement and  what purpose it actually serves.

If it's meant as a form of protectionism for a store and an artist, then it's about usefull as an invisible frog called Brian. If someone wants to steal your work a statement doesn't protect you or the store.  They will do it anyway.

If it's designed to be a sytem to slow down store submissions, then stores (not just here) should say so. I think using Blackheart's idea of quality control is much better one.

it's like the additional licences that are creeping in on top of the roisty one. While these are supposed to offer additional terms to the buyer again they don't.

Both just add an increased level of red-tape to whats supposed to be a fun hobby.

So my next product will say drawn by the cat and the licence will only let you use it on a wednesday when the moon is purple and being roundly rogered by mars. That makes a lot  more than some of the rules :)
