The perusal of copyrighted works could monitored by a tax-funded, neutral organization and
copyright holders paid fees through a money-stream from Federal taxes.
There would need to be a non-intrusive means of monitoring use of each work, to determine
how much to pay for it, of course.
An algorithm would be needed to assess the value of each work to the public to determine how
much each copyright holder would be paid for each use.
An effective design of such a system might be difficult, but it would be worth it to have
freely accessible IP for everyone.
Copyright holders would be freed of the overhead and hassle of managing sales.
An over-all win-win, I think.
