And I posted some possible answers, stuff way short of socialist revolution. Basically opt in systems producers could use instead of regular copyright (still have to option to retain copyright if you wished:
1) Some sort of tax on media that pays royalties for "free" downloads where the IP has been surrendered to this system.
2) Some sort of tax on advertising and marketing that pays for vouchers people can use to give additional funding to those who have surrendered IP to this system.
Only 2 conditions for individuals and enities (for-profit non-profit alike) you can make money from this new system. or you can stick to conventional copyright but not both. And you can make exta money from cash sales but no advertising including PBS/NPR style "enhanced sponsorship".
These proposals have been made by a number of people, including Dean Baker and Peter Barnes. Worth discussing? If not worth discussing, that in itself is worth discussing, cause I've never been sure what the criteria sometimes used in this list culture for what is politically serious and what is not.
