ABSTRACT:
A website on a computer server system contains (for browser access) a database of client recording artists, to each of whom is assigned an individual Web page45bexhibiting musical works for sale. A shopper browsing the website may evaluate and initiate purchase of one or more recordings directly with the website. The website charges each client artist a portion of the price of each purchase made by a shopper. The website and its owners take payment, obtain shipping data from the buyer, deduct a website usage fee from the purchase price, and send the purchase order and the client artist's payment to the client artist or client artist's representative.
