Abstract: A method using TV advertising principles with some interactivity improvements, applied to the internet network domain is used to sponsor a free digital music file download by generating a sufficient amount of money which enables paying all royalties which are constituted by mechanical royalties, production royalties and recording artist royalties, giving the user a complete personal non-commercial license for the use of the digital music files he has just acquired; this process is made possible by using an algorithm to calculate the number of ads required, a process of selection of ads depending on different factors with different weighting but not limited to geographical location, event related, cyclic, targeted audience, special request; the audio file is available only after the viewing of all ads which is achieved by using a proprietary media player.

Abstract: A method using TV advertising principles with some interactivity improvements, applied to the internet network domain is used to sponsor a free digital music file download by generating a sufficient amount of money which enables paying all royalties which are constituted by mechanical royalties, production royalties and recording artist royalties, giving the user a complete personal non-commercial license for the use of the digital music files he has just acquired; this process is made possible by using an algorithm to calculate the number of ads required, a process of selection of ads depending on different factors with different weighting but not limited to geographical location, event related, cyclic, targeted audience, special request; controlling the download process by either a slowdown or splitting process, so the complete file is obtained only after the viewing of all ads which is achieved by using a proprietary media player.
