ABSTRACT:
The system delivers a continuous sequence of individual pieces of media information over a communications network to a group of users that selected said media information. The system includes at least one server that transmits the continuous sequence of individual pieces of media information at approximately the same time to each user in the group. The system also includes an application configured to generate a user interface screen. The User interface screen includes a list of available media information, a program guide containing information relating to the media information selected by a user, and an object configured to allow a user to initiate a purchase of a product. Finally, the system includes at least one server configured to maintain an audit log that records data. The records data includes how many users received the particular media information, times at which users received the particular media information, the total bytes of said media information transmitted to each user, the composition of said media information, and the identity of users.
