That's interesting. You could make Copyright closer to the way Patents already work: you get protection for your work, but only for as long as you're making it available to the public; once you stop licensing your protected work, you lose the protection. So if you publish a work and later stop making that work available, it would automatically lose protection and it would become legal to share online or for another company to print.
