No. You have to register your copyright if you think you have the right to tell other people they can't make money off of it. A database of every greedy artist/author's works will be large, and require upkeep which should be paid for by the people who benefit from said database.
So, after this law, what would be the correct way to protect my free code from some big company making money on it?
