The problem is the fact that the corporations would immediately attack such a tax in the courts, calling it un-constitutional (the 5 year limit not allowing them to profit from/protect their private property sufficiently etc)..

They are particularly adept at demonstrating that copyright laws be broadened and lengthened (eg. mickey mouse is not public domain), so the corporations would fight tooth and nail against such a tax. Personally I like the idea!
