too bad this means only losses for the middle-men, that also pump millions into lobbying for increasingly stupid IP laws - so it's not likely to happen :/

This is a very extraordinarily half-baked idea at best. I think that it shows promise, but the concept of centralizing all of the possible income for artists who are known to be very expressive about their views, political or otherwise, and not always pro government narrative. Seems like a very bad idea to say the least.

    agree about media.gov, acess to the created media should ideally happen in a distributed way (funkwhale?) with a government provided service as a free tax-funded default.

    i don't agree that centralising payout like that is an issue that limits creative output. most free democracies already do similar stuff to what is proposed here, although usually bound to specific programs and grants.
