The Paid Content Community Group has been proposed: -------------------------------------------------- The Paid Content Community Group exists to promote support for paid-for content on the web, including enabling better mechanisms for discovery, pricing, transactions, storage and access control. As the web matures, users are increasingly willing to pay for quality content. Advertising revenue for conventional publishing is also in decline. Consequently the ability to sell content efficiently is increasingly important to sustain expensively produced content such as investigative journalism. The PCCG considers issues including: 1. Metadata formats for expressing pricing and subscription packages and terms 2. Content payment use cases (as a contribution to WPWG) 3. Access control issues (eg. 'First click free', time limited access etc) 4. Consumer rights over purchased content (eg lending, reselling, portability between devices, independence from publisher control) -------------------------------------------------- You are invited to support the creation of this group: http://www.w3.org/community/groups/proposed#paidcontent Once the group has a total of five supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work. Once launched, the group will no longer be listed as "proposed"; it will appear in the list of current groups: http://www.w3.org/community/groups/ In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account. To request one: http://www.w3.org/accounts/request If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org. Thank you, W3C Community Development Team
