A method is disclosed for calculating the value a "sample" of a copyright-protected work of art adds when included in a new work. The method is embodied in a computer program or series of computer programs, available from a web portal linked to a server, which stores relevant information about an owner's "samples;" allows the owner to assign specific value criteria to all "samples;" allows an artist to download specified "samples," incorporate them into new works, and upload the new works to the web portal, where a series of calculations then derive the value each "sample" adds to the new work; and creates conditions obligating the artist to upload information regarding the distribution of the new work to the web portal so the value added by each "sample" can be distributed to the "sample" owners in proportion to the value each "sample" adds to the new work. |
