A couple of sites addressing a much needed issue - the latest entrant being Cruxy and the elder statesman being esnips. Esnips let’s you share or buy-sell all your digital content. There’s room for many more such marketplaces and Cruxy moved in a few days back.
Cruxy is the work of a couple of New Yorkers who also developed Ion, a media browser. The idea of cruxy is to allow artists to buy, sell and promote their works. “The rights of fair use are being steadily eroded, so that people are able to do less with their purchased media than they used to be able to do. We think this is the wrong approach. Cruxy is designed to bring fans closer to content creators. Rather than watching your dollar consumed by an antiquated, multi-layer distribution system (where the artists receive a small cut), fans should be able to interact more directly with the media creators.” Great.
