Intellectual Property Donor

Here is an interesting idea:

    <a href="http://ni9e.com/public_domain_donor.php"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="192" alt="pd_donar_800px" src="http://spaetzel.com/content/binary/WindowsLiveWriter/IntellectualPropertyDonor_B8CF/pd_donar_800px_3 <a class="RdXRAbq" href="http://movietraff.com/download-dvd-hd-movie-blast-from-the-past.html">Blast from the past download</a>.jpg" width="504" border="0"></a>
    </p>
    <p>
    The idea is that after your death, you will donate all of your intellectual property
    into the public domain, overriding the current 70 year copyright waiting period following
    your death.
    </p>
    <p>
    I'm not running out to carry around a card like this, I am already releasing much
    of my work under Creative Commons, so I don't see the need to have things change when
    I die.
