One more option:

5. Only allow the owner of an item to add it to share the item to 
multiple collections.  This means Batsheva can add 'Lunch with Nero' to 
a local collection, but can't share that item to another collection.  
This prevents Batsheva from getting write access to 'Lunch with Nero'.  
The owner of a shared item is essentially the owner of the collection.
