Frankly, I'd be in favor of nationalizing all libraries and mandating that if anyone wants to register a copyright of an eBook with Copyright.gov, they have to provide a single license for the national library for perpetuity.
Tax money could go to buying more licenses of popular things on demand. But if the government is going to enforce and protect copyright -- and I think it should, to a point -- then there should be some give from the copyright owners for the betterment of society.
