Copyright is not a right, it is a privilege. Intellectual property is property. Tax it. Rational copyright holders will willingly donate the property to pass irrevocably into the public domain when the tax burden exceeds expected future income.
And make the holders declare their ownership and pay the annual tax, lest they immediately lose the privilege irrevocably for non-payment.
Setting the tax rate might be difficult. Due to Hollywood accounting, probably it should be based on the first few year's gross.

Let me know when a 3d printer can print replacement printer cartridges.
Formations are rocks. The Grand Canyon is a hole.
I am more fascinated by the claim that the Colorado River 'joined up' the earlier bits.
What cut those earlier bits? Links by email, please.

The First Amendment isn't there to protect speech you like; it's there to protect speech you detest. Remember Larry Flynt's statement:
"If the First Amendment will protect a scumbag like me, then it will protect all of you. Because I'm the worst."
Larry Flynt sums it up best himself: "If the First Amendment will protect a scumbag like me, then it will protect all of you. Because I'm the worst.

Most US laws seem to be rushed attempts to earn donations/bribes.
If they lobbiests can't keep the cash flowing, the law should be replaced by one that pays more.
Who knows, some public spirited corporation might even finance a law that favored their customers.
