Nobody would lose - that would be a good system and I'd like to see it happen. |
Somebody proposed a system in which the author was paid proportionally to votes given by users.
The content was simply available, like it is now in the darknets, but if you like what you use, you give it a high rating. The author is paid with money coming from taxes, connection fees, or similar (don't remember exactly).
I'd agree to give a percentage of one's income for unlimited access to everything.
That way authors are paid, and everybody, rich or poor, can read watch or listen everything.
But in the real word you cannot say to a millionaire "from now on jyou will have just $999.999,99"....
