SYSTEM AND METHOD OFR DISTRIBUTION AND TRACKING OF DIGITAL CONTENT

摘要

A system and method for distribution of content is disclosed in which the content in the form of a content record is distributed from a content originator through a series of intervening recipients of copies of the content record. Each recipient of a copy of a content record is capable of making further copies for distribution to other recipients. Each content record includes certain tracer information for tracking the distribution of the content and preferably uniquely identifying each recipient along the distribution chain.
