That post by @mlinksva links to enough of his posts that link to enough posts that you could get lost for a while. I suggest it. Deeply.

I like that post a lot, and I think Mike hit on an important point about making great works available as free culture. I wonder if a non-profit arts foundation that gave grants with the requirement that works be licensed as free culture would help at all.
Yes, but "a" as in one isn't going to help much unless it is really targeted at funding works that could blow up in some sense, including funding marketing of them. (Kinda related, imagine a "free culture ~netflix" ... subscription $ used to really nicely package/stream free video, and if enough $, start funding new video, which'd have a built-in audience. A recent idea of way too many I'm kicking around.) Generally mandating output of public/publicly interested cultural funding be freely licensed is a next frontier for policy (cf OA, OER, PSI mandates).
I like that idea.
Expanded on that idea at http://gondwanaland.com/mlog/2013/05/03/a-kill-hollyweb-plan/ and continued my tradition of linking to micro(not really micro anymore I guess)thread, ie this one.
