Protocol / Architecture for Online Ebook / Course or Content Selling ************ (Now a days most of platform like amazon etc sells books but business is based on blind trust put by author on Amazon. There is no way to determine what no. of copies sold really through them & at what price. Control is at platform owner. Platforms are publisher centric. Now it's time to change the trend & make it author centric. Those who bring forward / develop such platform - we all authors are going support. ) 1) Content server - author store there content like video, ebook etc over content server. The server owner offer service to content owner on monthly or yearly price basis or % basis from the point after which content get sold by selling agents , content shopping sites. 2) Content on content server is encrypted , secure & content owner can have different security option , like it can set the access given to whom for what period etc. 3) Author / content owner put link on agent site / shopping site to sell the book or course etc. 4) All such shopping site / agents are register on content server , so they become valid seller. 5) When customer try to buy book from agent or shopping site , then ID's of that agent etc are generated & customer are redirected to content server. the request enter into queue. Mobile message or email is sent to content owner. Content owner , verifies authenticity of customer & agent. once approved customer can pay directly to content owner. Then it have to register device from which he like to access the content. Once paid author generate authentication key & send it to customer. If server & agent provides service to content owner on percentage basis , then customer's payment - payment split into 4 part - share of content owner, share of agents, tax part & share of server. Here all payment amount is fixed number. Agents money can be immediately transferred by deducting tax share. Different policy can be set for payment. Once access period expires then access is denied to customer. In order to prevent piracy, content owner generates different key after regular period & send it to paid customer. 6) Kindle etc devices can given access only if device is registered & specific content is bought by consumer. 7) Developer from open source community are welcomed. Implement it , it will protect right of authors. As author gets benefit, they will contribute financially to society & open source community. Already there open source software Calibre called ebook / double reader , If developer from open source community add feature to such software so that it can read any book stored on any content server from book link given by author . If developer bring more security in calibre , then millions of author can store book on content server by paying small fee & can sell ebook direct to reader. This creates win win situation for reader , author. ***** Even customer can buy content directly from content owner. ****
