This is not a good idea. Giant companies could buy the copyrights for all intellectual property and no individuals would be able to own valuable intellectual pr

  That's true. Perhaps increase tax such that even giant companies can't afford the copyright after one or two decades. Let's say start with 10% and increase by 2.5% every year. The twentieth year the copyright would cost 60% of the declared value.

  Well, artists only have to sell if they don't think their copyright value is worth the price, so they would be getting nice payouts. Don't really see how it could be a loss for artists, unless maybe they undervalue their own work. Also it would mean that large corps pay for their copyright enforcement, unlike now, when a 1 man book is given the same protections as disney's stuff for the same cost, despite the fact that it costs 1000x more to protect disney.
