The economy could really use a state run video library online where it's mandatory for all movies and shows are sold for pay-per-view for media preservation and access.

You're viewing a single thread.
How far do you take it?
What services does it apply to? Sure netflix, Disney (hah! Good luck!) Amazon etc.
What about YouTube? It has masses of content, some in the form of movies Or documentories etc, but that's a lot of content, who does the pay per view money go to? Who is going to moderate it?
What about services such as Patron?( or maybe nebula or floatplane) Some creators charge a lot for content as it's low volume and they need to support themselves, will this undercut them (without giving loopholes for big companies)
As others have mentioned, what about porn or porn adjacent content?
It would be very hard to implement fairly I suspect and would be full of pitfalls unless you exempt a lot of areas. Banning content exclusivity for certain content after a period of time would probably be more effective (and requiring that purchase is available)
I think porn would have to be on premises at a library with ID confirmation only if it's published in the country in question. It should be restricted access.
My idea is that creators and publishers will actually gain more money per view than Nebula for example. They can still of course market their patreon on it.
Honestly it was a toilet thought, I didn't flesh it out completely for every case.

This is how your premises become sticky
