Simpler still, collect property taxes on copyright. Companies aren't going to pay money just to sit on something that doesn't earn more money.

That simply ruins the copyright system for everyone that isn't making money. Which is pretty bad given that copyright is also what stops people from say, simply stealing someone's art drawn and shared as a hobby or even drawn and shared as part of a portfolio (and thus indirectly being a potential source of profit for them).
