The Idea
A web community allowing an artist to have an account, and have services bid for a % of the profits to help them create multimedia. (approx. $0.10/song or $1.00/movie selling price) see link! Many license types control what the product sells for, depending on who is going to use it for what, from personal use all the way up to use in commercial advertising. Recording, marketing, production (etc.) companies could also have their accounts and bid their services and get paid (alogn with the author) via micropayment when people buy the product. Here's the important part: the buyer would see a breakdown in their shopping cart that tells them exactly how much is going to each member of the production line for that particular song/movie. This would make the entire industry's components (recorders, marketers) transparent and foster honesty and proportional reward to their involvement. In addition, you'd be able to click on anyone to see what they are/have been involved with, and for what %.

I thought of this idea when I was reading countless stories about how the music industry doesn't reward the artists, and has a stranglehold on the business of publishing music. By: - showing people exactly who their money goes to in the production of multimedia - offering it for a reasonable price, based on micropayments - rewarding the artists, and not the maintainers of a dying business model I believe we can take care of our artists in music, video and other multimedia, while avoiding the repercussions that come with piracy. It is my hope that this web application would offer a quality product, reward the artists, and eliminate piracy by offering multimedia at a price people are willing to pay. I believe quality at a lower price would end up being much more profitable than the offensive measures being used against the consumer by the MPAA and RIAA. This also gives people, other than artists, a chance for fame and $, if they are consistantly involved with great products.
