Abstract: A system for controlling access to digital content enables global sharing of digital content under terms negotiated between a content owner and a content subscriber, facilitates commerce and the sale of digital access to any digitally transmittable data. The system may include preconfigured online forms in which users simply “fill in the blanks” to create legally binding contracts and/or licenses, including full terms of agreement, date filed, license key, and other identifying information. The system permits monitoring of content deployment by the subscriber for compliance with agreement terms such as: where content may be published and viewed, duration, age limit, by the pageview, and other customizable terms between the parties. The system provides a two-way marketplace that facilitates the finding of content, the setting of agreement terms, and a content collaboration tool. Analytics are provided and the platform facilitates monetary transactions in a trusted centralized location.
