The method and system further include paying a percentage of the revenue to the content owners as royalties. In a further aspect of the present invention, consumers may become affiliates of the marketplace where the unused bandwidth of the consumer's computers is used to deliver the files to other consumers. As an incentive, affiliates are also paid for donating the bandwidth and for referring new consumers to the marketplace.
