The following is the original paper on transcopyright. Some of original emphases still lost. The on-line copyright problem may be resolvable by a simple, sweeping permission method. This proposed system, which anyone may use, allows broad re-use of materials in exchange for automatic tracking of ownership.
Payment goes to the original publisher and credit to the original author.
A wording and an abbreviation for this permission system are proposed here. But it might be sensible to ask another question in reply. That is how I see the issue of copyright in digital media. There is a hunger for the re-use of media. If we can find a legitimate way to feed this hunger, then perhaps the stealing will not be necessary.
