Abstract
Aggregating ownership of certain types of intellectual property and providing withdrawal privileges based at least in part on individual contribution to the common ownership is described herein. Particularly, electronic media can be received, parsed, aggregated with other media, and stored as a superset of media. The superset can be owned commonly by those who submitted media to the trust based in part on a number, type, value, and/or demand, or the like, of submitted media. Further, participants can withdraw media items from the trust based in part on submission of media to the trust. Accordingly, individuals can aggregate collections of digital media and share such media in a manner that complies with DRM restrictions and intellectual property rights of associated entities.
