Abstract:
Apparatus, and an associated method, for pricing content, such as musical or entertainment recordings, based upon quantitative demand for the content. An initial price indicia associator associates initial price indicia with the content files. The initial pricing is based upon historical indicia associated with the creators of the content. Thereafter, a price indicia adjuster adjusts the pricing of the content. The adjustments to the initial pricing and changes made thereafter are made responsive to detected indications of demand for the content.
Abstract:
Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating distribution of revenue generated pursuant to distribution of content, such as recorded music files or other entertainment files, to content consumers. Identification is made by an identifier of includable distribution entities that are includable in distributions of revenue derived as a result of downloading content to content consumers. A revenue allocator allocates revenues to the includable distribution entities according to a selected formula. The selected formula is dynamically alterable, depending upon demand indications, as well as other criteria.
