Abstract: The present invention provides a computer system and software that implements and supports a method to permit a digital media peer-to-peer or peer to server exchange while providing a secure and high speed transmission of media files across an internet, intranet or cable network in such a manner as to avoid illegal or un-permitted end user digital file sharing or copying. More particularly, the invention provides a method that combines a digital media encryption technique and unique user key to permit transmission of digital media information in a very compressed or compacted small-size file that is essentially incapable of being decoded without a legitimate user key.

Abstract: The present invention provides a business method, computer system and software that permit a digital media peer-to-peer or server-to-peer exchange, with sponsored media access, while providing a secure and high speed transmission of media files across an internet, intranet or cable network in such a manner as to avoid illegal or un-permitted end user digital file sharing or copying. More particularly, the invention provides a method that combines a digital media encryption technique and unique user key to permit transmission of digital media information in a very compressed or compacted small-size file that is essentially incapable of being decoded without a legitimate user key. The network or virtual private network provides computer hardware, software and at least one interface for advertisers to view marketing factor listings corresponding to network end users and to provide sponsored digital media access for selected listings of end users in exchange for targeted advertising of users.
