I was talking of using current archive functionality to
accomplish the task,
rather suggesting that perhaps the archive or someone else
could do something
similar to what the archive currently does, but geared

verifying the existance of works under various Free and CC

Perhaps even the
copyright office? (Would it require a change of law?) Or
perhaps some large

I would think you would want to retain the material. A CC
license is supposed
to last after all.
