The problem with copyright is one of corruption, which a copyright tax does not solve. At the point of billion dollar renewals the board decision becomes, "How can we best spend our marketing and lobbying dollars to gain an exemption to or remove this tax?"
It also is very imbalanced. The average IP holding corporation will be much more able to pay $1000 or $10000 fee to hold onto a copyright, as well as able to determine which copyrights will be profitable in the future. They are also better able to leverage marketing power to make content profitable more quickly.
In contrast the average individual content creator is more emotionally attached to a work, less able to pay fees, and less able to market it effectively in order to make it profitable so he or she can afford the fees.
