Abstract: Automatically determining pricing for at least one unit of content that can be selected and purchased over a network for one or more of a plurality of predetermined categories of use and in one or more formats. Also, one or more sources can provide intrinsic and extrinsic value factors that can be associated with units of content. Further, one or more of these sources can be separate from the actual source of the content. Additionally, one or more of these factors can be manually and/or automatically processed or preprocessed to determine a price for a unit of selected content for at least one of the plurality of predetermined categories of use. This processing can include one or more methods, including, but not limited to, normalization, weighting, coalescing, and statistical analysis.
