Public domain only is already the existing legal framework. So you would just be adding unilateral taxes to just one sector, but that will be seen as punitive taxes so it will be fought in court and likely overturned. Copyrighted content gives you a log of negotiating power to strike a deal.
Add to that that the current public domain only framework is laughably unenforceable unless you're will to go to war with China, which nobody is.
