    Can you imagine? Never again losing a book because the “rights” and"ownership" are unclear so no one will publish it for fear of lawsuit? Not losing movies because some skin suit full of beetles decided it wasn’tprofitable to retain?

    • I don’t even need the central government repository. Just don’t devote billions of dollars to attacking hobby archivists. The only reason most popular TV shows and movies don’t dedicated websites serving copies of every single variation and edit and remaster that’s even been released is because of bullshit copyright law. People will do this stuff on their own for free because they love it. And if capitalists can’t enclose that ecosystem, they destroy it.
