You're confusing two different things here. The things you list are not
different kinds of copyrights. They are different ways that an author
can grant certain publication rights, while retaining all other rights.
For example, if you write an article, you can sell none of the rights
(meaning that you don't want it published, period), first publication
rights, serial rights, condensation rights, reprint rights, translation
rights, radio, motion picture, or TV rights, or even ALL rights.
There are, quite literally, an infinite number of ways to do this.
Compiling an exhausting list is, therefore, not possible.
