It's an interesting alternative. I think it could used some tweaking along side adjustments to copyright laws them self.
I think this point is yet another example of how current copyright laws fail.

The institution of copyright dates back to the late middle ages. It may have served a useful function back then, but we will need something better for the Internet Age.
