Legacy

If a multi-billionaire really wanted to spend all his or her money and leave a legacy, then the way to do it is to buy up as much back-catalog content as possible (books, video and music) and convert it to commons.

Not only would it make the purchased content available for free, it would screw everyone else trying to exploit back catalogue content. And it would further legitimize bit torrent by swamping that market with free content.

Copyrights are simply way too long; incumbent interests have had their way yet again.
