In what way? We've already seen that donation buttons don't work. Without copyright we're back to relying on rich patrons supporting artists, and mostly keeping that art for themselves.
And book portals won't work. Once one person has a copy of the book portal produced book everyone will have it. There's already a big negative incentive for sharing copyrighted works (the law and fear of punishment) and that doesn't even work all that well.
