Abstract

A system for monetizing content is disclosed.

Claims (25)

1 . A method for monetizing content, comprising:

receiving a selection of content tagged by a user, wherein the tagged content is a portion of content stored in memory and provided by a content provider;

executing instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor:

calculates a price for the tagged content, the price based in part on an amount of content selected,

processes a content fee from the user for the tagged content, and

distributes at least a portion of the received content fee to the content provider.

2 . (canceled)

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the execution of instructions by the processor further tracks the distributed content fee.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the execution of instructions by the processor further tracks usage of the tagged content by the user.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein execution of instructions by the processor further tracks attribution information associated with the tagged content.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the execution of instructions by the processor further provides the tagged content to the user based on one or more licensing provisions associated with the content.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the licensing provision is a distribution restriction associated with the tagged content.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the licensing provision is a reproduction restriction associated with the tagged content.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the price for the tagged content is further based on a profile associated with the user.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the price for the tagged content is further based on content demand.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the price for the tagged content is further based on a previous content purchase by the user.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the price for the tagged content is further based on a creation date associated with the tagged content.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the price for the tagged content is further based on a stale date associated with the tagged content.

14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the price for the tagged content is further based on a license provision associated with the tagged content.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the license provision includes a royalty fee.

16 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having embodied thereon a program, the program being executable by a processor to perform a method for monetizing content, the method comprising:

receiving a selection of content tagged, wherein the tagged content is a portion of content provided by a content provider;

calculating a price for the tagged content, the price based in part on an amount of content selected;

processing a content fee for the tagged content; and

distributing at least a portion of the received content fee to the content provider.
