That's been one of the proposals.
You have to register your work and every X years (the number is usually 10) you have to renew. You can keep renewing until you die.
This solves many of the issues that we have with copyright today.
The problem is that the content cartel finds this very difficult since they control so many works and most of the time they don't even have a list of the works they have the copyright for, it would take them a great deal of time and effort for them to even list them - let alone verify that they actually have the copyright for them.
