That doesn't make a bit of sense. Making everything available at different levels of access fees is called
SELLING.
Copyright is a government-granted exclusive right to copy. Like patents, this protection is given in exchange for the work eventually entering the public domain. It doesn't have anything to do with selling.
Both perpetual copyright and no copyright at all are bad ideas.
