    That last paragraph of yours just made things click for me.

    I’ve been wondering what kind of government will potentially do this. While it’s a pretty good idea in general, I don’t think any government will be able to shoulder the costs while earning the ire of the companies (media companies, etc.).

      Norway would, and does! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Library_of_Norway

      All media published in Norway (includes streaming) is required to have a copy sent to the national library.

      Edit: Though any licensed media is only available on their network, sadly no taking home. Though things like news papers are publicly available anything from 2 to 7 days later. (when it’s irrelevant)
