Isn't this the opposite of what the people against copyright are seeking? They want more art to be unprotected, instead, in the public domain, free to use for all.

The government charges a tax on everyone. Revenue is handed to authors based on how many times the work is used.
There are some questions around how to weigh things like societal importance of the work.
