"You know what a zombie is, right? Do you know why you know? You know
because of a mistake that threw
Night of the Living Dead freely into
the public domain, bypassing all standard copyright protections. Purely
by accident, George Romero’s groundbreaking film instantly became a
horror classic that could be licensed at no cost. The result was a movie
that every theater could show, every TV station could broadcast, every
artist could adapt and build off of… it was essentially a gift to the
entire world."
An intriguing idea: an exponentional copyright registration fee to fund
a UBI. (Note: the article is CC0 licensed, and can therefore be
