A process for determining the price of a digital media file for members of a service engaging in commerce in a peer-to-peer network having member controlled client systems and a service operator controlled service system. The client systems locally store digital media container (DMC) files encapsulating the digital media files and royalty amounts, and the service system stores pricing data that is applicable to sets of the members collectively and to sets of the DMC files collectively. The process comprising the invention includes selecting one of the DMC files hosted by one of the client systems of another member to be a DMC file of interest, obtaining the royalty amount from the DMC file of interest, obtaining the pricing data, and calculating the price based on the royalty amount and the pricing data.
