What you want is compulsory licensing. It exists for e.g. music. Radio stations generally can play whatever they want. They pay a (sometimes flat) licensing fee. All those station fees are pooled together and redistributed to the artists/distributors. I exists in other forms too, like the blank media fee in Europe (not sure if that still exists?)
I would love for something like that to exist for video and news. It would mean that a service like Netflix could offer all content.
