- Provide compensation to creators and innovators of intellectual property
- New and useful ideas and art have tremendous value. Monetary compensation should provide the necessary incentive to keep the culture active and thriving.
- Lower the barrier to access the best intellectual property
- Consumers of new and useful ideas need a low barrier, in order to become creators and innovators themselves. It is only through exposure and use of ideas that innovations occur.
- By keeping the barrier as low as possible, the number of consumers should remain as high as possible.
- Provide incentives for the early adoption of interesting intellectual property
- The first users and consumers of an emerging idea have a huge impact on the future of the idea. Technology companies live and die by the whim of their early adopters.
- Early adopters take risks by using new ideas. By proving the value of the idea, they provide the necessary conditions for the idea to spread.
- By taking a risk and providing this service, early adopters deserve rewards.

Is this similar to iCopyright, but with wider implications? Sounds interesting...
ReplyDeleteRe:Anonymous, iCopyright serves to make attribution and payment quick and painless, which is something that Spiral is also meant to do. However, Spiral provides these services as part of its content distribution mechanism, and has no need to charge the authors any fees. iCopyright is well-suited to articles, which already have several well-established content distribution mechanisms: blogs, news sites, etc. People don't usually pay to read articles anyway, so Spiral may not be the best option for authors of periodicals. Larger volumes of articles and collections might find Spiral to a better fit.
