ABSTRACT:
A content proceeds distribution system distributes proceeds of a sold content to third parties. Each of the third parties has a right of charge, not prescribed in a sales contract, at a rate corresponding to the right thereof. A content database stores by content IDs all providers of the content and all the parties having the right of charge for copying and selling the content. An agreement of a share allocated to an operator of an SD center is registered in a contract master. A payment section, upon a payment of proceeds, subtracts the share of the operator of the SD center from the proceeds by referring to the agreement of the share of the operator that is registered in the contract master. The payment section next distributes the proceeds after subtraction according to each ID stored in the content database.
