RepliCounts: Design for Selling Digital Art Online
Financial accounts that can replicate (reproduce) and inherit many services will support artists by mass sponsorship, and make other new business models feasible.
Note that the previous name of this system was Smart-Accounts. In September 2009 we changed it to RepliCounts, for trademark reasons.
