I'd like some other way to compensate authors. Not sure what would work.
Some authors might curate their fanfic, collaborate with fanfic authors, and release official editions. Eric Flint does that with 1632 and its sequels. But he began as an editor and might approach things differently from those who began as an author. With popular works, that may be a viable long-term option with short-term copyright. Not sure how well it would work if some other system replaces copyright.
Academic publishing poses its own problems. There are a lot of discussions of this on the Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week blog.
