At this point I don't see how redistributing
copyright income is in scope
for Wikimedia. Maybe on a tangent, very remotely? I might be missing

Lodewijk,
What is your opinion of this particular proposal? The Copyright Office
said they wanted to study it when I spoke with them yesterday. It seems
clear to me. I did the math after looking at employed artist numbers from
the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, and am convinced it
would be near-optimal.
