Permitting the bidirectional flow of information and infinitely differing interpretations of that data to be accessed and grown-on. Copyright may then seem as archaic an idea, as paying royalties to whoever invented the wheel. “The real question is can that ever be accomplished, and the answer is ‘no’”

I estimated that available storage will always be 8-10 times of human knowledge (10EB) and at least 100 times of used storage. However due to copyright, privacy laws and government sponsored censorship we don't have operational capacity to store everything we know, see: http://negativematter.blogspot.com/2011/02/ultimate-bit.html I don’t think storage capacity would be a problem.
