Don't know how easy it would be, but sharing maps and whatnot between DMs would be hugely beneficial. Especially for adventure paths and the like. Just a thought. I love transmogrifier.

But if you're sharing maps, images, characters or anything pertaining to a specific published adventure path. That's copyright infringement. We really don't have the manpower to handle that can of worms being opened and the Devs have responded that they have no desire to allow campaign sharing anytime soon because of it.
Youtube is also a really bad example of comparison right now. There is currently a HUGE freakout over Google's current DMCA protocols (specifically revolving around video game reviewers). Legitimate video creators are getting their channels erroneously shut down because corporations are submitting flags (often repeatedly) on videos that sit well under the grounds of fair use. It's nuts.

I do wonder, however, if there could be a way in the future for implementing module packs from publishers. These could be bought in marketplace if that simplifies things, with pre-set campaigns and art assets for running modules.

That's the idea we're trying to market. We have two commercial adventure modules on the marketplace - A0: Crow's Rest Island and The Breaking of Forstor Nagar. Roll20 would love to offer more campaign packages like this, but it's a matter of trying to get the publishers to understand what we're all about.
Nolan certainly has his ears out for entrepreneurs who already use our system and are familiar with it who want to craft and sell their own adventure modules through our marketplace. Tricky part is typically getting an artist to get on board with the project to make all the tokens, portraits and maps.

There's also the option of contacting your favorite publishers and letting them know, politely of course, that you use roll20 would love to have easy access to their modules on here. :)
