This would involve giving the government a copy of all source code and assets to preserve securely. This should be a flat policy for all copyrighted material, so 3rd party involvement wouldn’t complicate things.

That’s a pretty interesting idea. Unfortunately it depends on being somewhere where copyrights ever actually end.

That’s another debate, but if a company ever closed and no one claimed the IP, it could be released early.
