You must be reading something that isn't there. The "independent"
status of the new copyright with respect to preexisting copyright(s) 
in the sense that it "does not affect or enlarge the scope, duration, 
ownership, or subsistence of, any copyright protection in the 
preexisting material" is the same in both cases.
