I agree Andy. In a simple, but large, project structure we had 98 folders each with 7 sub folders. All 7 required different access rights which, at the moment, has to be done individually.
The quickest way I found to do this was to set the rights for the first subfolder as the rights of the top level, then go into each first subfolder and untick the 'inherit rights from parent' button. When all 98 were done I then changed to top level to the second subfolder's access rights and repeated the process. This took 2 days and a school-like register to keep track of where I was!
The simplest solution would be a tick box on the copy/paste setup to maintain/inherit access rights as all these folders were created by copying so setting the correct access rights at the beginning and not automatically inheriting would have saved no end of time.
As to the best way to mass modify access rights your idea could be the way to go.

The possibility to get a report for how the access rights are set up for your members and folders was implemented 9th November 2010.
