Oh, Dear Ghod!  |
Web 2.0 can quite simply manage advance money by proven track record of popularity, quality and number of fans. And that Web 2.0 money is going to be financed through a tax that is much more efficient and which basically is the same as a global standardized subscription plan.
How else would you describe technologies of connected ebooks that have eventually wacom touchscreen interfaces, that pull pages from ebooks wirelessly, that allow the user to rate, comment, debate in realtime on any word of any sentence of any book. How else would you describe it than a technology to measure popularity and quality of online content. Thus measure popularity and quality of artists. Thus decide how much money the artist is entitled in advance for working on the next book.
