How about an international registry of content-creators (individuals and agglomerates) and their current and past enterprises? A diminishing-returns payment scheme for registered creators, based upon attributed use and funded by taxes collected in all participating territories would provide support for ongoing creative endeavours and maintain pressures on the artist for quality and relevancy the way much of the market currently does, but would prevent run-away success (like J. K. Rowling's) from dominating funding while still rewarding it. The creative content would be free to all, and the taxes would be higher (accounting for, perhaps, the money spent by individuals to buy books, CDs, movies, etc.).
How about?
