See, you are thinking like a utopian: "design a system & make reality fit it." Rarely works.
And it really doesn't make any difference. The Supreme Court has just said, implicitly, that it will defer to Congress on copyright - and I don't really disagree with them. But Congress has made it clear that it will implement international concensus, and protect corporate interests, absent an uprising like we've just seen on SOPA.
You, the individual creator, and we the readers, are screwed.
My advice for you is to consider Doctorow. Meanwhile, everyone should drive the speed limit. Except when you don't.
