> What about a contract like this: the copyright holder declares the value of the copyright (on the quarter; on the year; but the declared value may only increase)
Why? With the right of public purchase, a declared value decrease means its cheaper for the public to buy. And, realistically, the value of copyrights does decline.
Or is this intended to not only allow purchase into the public domain, but to quickly de facto compel surrender to the public domain for most works to avoid paying more in taxes than the work is worth?
