How would such a system work? In terms of technology, it would be based on principles set out in the 1960s and 70s — decades before the commercial Internet — by a tech visionary named Ted Nelson. Nelson […] designed a system of networked digital information called Xanadu. Unlike the one-way, typeless (semantics-free),

You could link to a content item (and thereby possibly use it as part of your own content), but the author of the content could also trace the link back to you. Nelson also envisioned a payment system in which following links would trigger royalty payments.

Moreover, because everything is linked (in a network assumed to be ubiquitous), there would be no need to make copies of anything, except possibly for backup purposes. In other words, this system would render copyright irrelevant. Imprecise concepts like fair use and hardware levies would be subsumed into rules for payment.
