It seems like we need to move to time period licensing rather than trying to count the diverse media. A fee per year to make an image accessible to a "textbook" program. The fee could vary with the general estimated size of the program, but not be specifically tied to press runs, clicks, passwords, cds, teachers editions, flash drives, phones etc.
