A system is described for facilitating purchase of copyrighted works, in particular, works that may be offered for variable prices depending on the purchaser's characteristics. A server interacts with multiple digital content repositories as well as users. The server stores user characteristics information in user accounts, and uses such information to obtain best prices for users for the contents they request. If additional user characteristics information is request by some repositories before offering a price, the server interacts with the user to obtain such information. The server automatically selects the best price among those offered by the repositories, and completes the purchase transaction.
