MDN Spec

Overview

The Media Distribution Network's purpose is to provide an equal opportunity distribution system for digital files. This will be done by having no initial cost to an artist. Furthermore, the all funds given to the governing body of the network will be specified by the artist or copyright owner themselves. To enable this the network will be based around technologies designed to have a low functioning cost. Designing the system around proven peer-to-peer systems will allow for relatively minimal bandwidth usage in addition to reducing the codebase requiring maintenance.
