Sounds a little like copyfarleft.

Edit: Why the downvotes? It was a serious comment:

"establish a form of cooperative which would function in the same way as the copyright collection societies [...] Members would assign their copyrights to the cooperative, which would issue free non-exclusive licenses to other members. [...] Non-members could still use the works but would have to negotiate and pay a licensing fee in the normal manner. The original twist is in the criteria for membership of the cooperative, which would be limited to those who do not employ wage-labour or capital-intensive technology in producing cultural works;"[0]
