	The Rational Street Performer Protocol
		The Street Performer Protocol was proposed by Kelsey and Schneier as a way of generating private funding for public works.
		One objection that can be made about the Street Performer Protocol is that contributors do not seem to gain a reward (in terms of production of the public work) in proportion to their contribution.
		In this web-page I propose a variation on the Street Performer Protocol in which it is rational to contribute money towards the production of the public work, based on a system of conditional pledges.

	Street Performer Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Street Performer Protocol (SPP) is a way of encouraging the creation of creative works and intellectual property in the public domain, described by the cryptographers John Kelsey and Bruce Schneier of Counterpane Systems (although the underlying idea is much older).
		The SPP depends on the reputation of the artist, so that he is known for producing valued works and that he will live up to the terms of the agreement.
		Variations of the SPP includes the Rational Street Performer Protocol and the Wall Street Performer Protocol.

	Online Piracy: Both sides of the coin \| MetaFilter
		It's even worse with the Street Performer protocol, as it requires users to wait until the needed money is donated before the content is released.
		Street performing won't probably scale to projects that require large amounts of resources, like movies or video games.
		The cash is escrowed under the protocol until the work is produced.

	RE: [h2o-discuss] street performer protocol (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The US is terrible about supporting young performers -- unless those performers are manufactured for mass consumption -- and instead depends on varying combinations of luck, patronage, and word-of-mouth to find new talent.
		In this regard, the Street Performer Protocol will most likely be appealing to "marginal" composers and performers.

		Street performances are in the public domain, but Sesame Street isn't.
		The protocol would prevent Type B countries from disseminating hate speech from internet sites within their jurisdiction "aimed exclusively at an audience in a less permissive state", i.e.
		The protocol doesn't exactly say that citizens of less free countries wouldn't benefit from broadcasts from the more free countries, but it does try to ban a subset of those broadcasts in deference to the lawmakers who have decided that less freedom is better than more.

		I have been among the most successful street musicians in the region, and I expected that to remain my main gig for a long time.
		I'm glad that I made that change, but I didn't expect to be nudged into it by a decline in street performing.
		For example, when I began performing in 1980, the courts upheld the rights of street performers to play in public places; now many of the remaining playable spots are under private ownership, which has changed things considerably.

	Financing content production by collecting loans from end-users
		Under the SPP, the Author/Creator announces that when he receives a certain amount of money in escrow, he will release a work (book, music, software, etc.) into the public domain.

	90% Crud: Dropcash and the Street Performer Protocol
		The only disconnect between the Street Performer Protocol and Dropcash is that the Street Performer Protocol has a trusted third party hold the money in escrow until the work is delivered.
		If the goal hadn't been met, she could potentially pay the remaining amount and get the script or I might in order to buy myself some free time not working on her project, then other people would be able to use it for free.
		The Street Performer Protocol is a business model that big copyright is overlooking in favor of maximizing profits, but people wanting to balance profits with the commons should consider it.

		Groups of people place place donations in escrow, to be released to an author who's promised a certain work, if he puts it into the public domain.
		The "Rational" protocol adjusts the approach so that the negotiations are done over several rounds and each person pledges a certain ratio out of the total that they're willing to pay, up to a certain maximum amount.

	USENIX ;login: - Third USENIX Workshop on Electronic Commerce
		Online arbitration is performed by means of a trusted third party, and the issuer maintains a certain minimal balance so that large purchases can go through while smaller balances are stored at vendors in support of cheap (offline) micropayments.
		By representing protocols as a sequence of states where players in the protocol cause transitions between these states, she showed that a properly produced transcript of the protocol would provide evidence for claims.
		A claim verifier can take such evidence to determine which states the protocol reached, and use knowledge of what those states "mean" in the protocol to determine whether or not the claim is valid.

		At the end of this protocol, Alice and the Bank should have some common new sequence number, and either they should agree on what has happened, or there will be some kind of investigation going on, and Alice should know the basic kind of problem and what to do next.
		In this protocol, Alice makes a payment to Carol by sending Carol a "draft." That is, a timestamped, digitally signed authorization for the bank to move $X from Alice's account into Carol's.
		Alice must perform a signature, and Carol must perform two verifications (though she may want to maintain lists of valid certificates, so she doesn't perform the certificate verification more often than necessary).

	The Street Performer Protocol and Digital Copyrights
		Using the logic of a street performer, the author goes directly to the readers before the book is published; perhaps even before the book is written.
		In the basic Street Performer Protocol, there are essentially three parties: the Author, the Publisher, and the Reader (of course, the "Reader" is actually many people).
		The Street Performer Protocol is obviously not a complete solution to the problem of marketing intellectual property in an age of free and perfect copies, but it is useful in certain kinds of situations.

		The protocol specifies a few elaborations, such as a third party escrow agency to keep both sides honest, but that's the gist of it.

	That's All I've Got to Say: Street Performers, Bowls, Plants...and the Gaming Industry?
		Almost exactly four years ago, back in late 2000, I happened to be hanging around SF writer Elizabeth Moon's SFFnet newsgroup at the point she and a few other SFF regulars got all-over excited about the Street Performer Protocol.
		The Street Performer Protocol, which I shall henceforth call SPP to save on some typing, was proposed in a white paper by John Kelsey and Bruce Schneier as an alternative means of content financing in the Internet age—sort of a modern-day version of the old Renaissance system of patronage.
		The SPP has to be applied to a medium where authors are more realistic (or pessimistic), there's a reason to buy e- instead of tree-books, and consumers are accustomed to buying piecemeal.

		Fans then provide donations to an escrow account until the set amount is made at which point the work is released to the public.

		The new technology, called the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), based on the increasingly popular Web standard for data exchange called the Extensible Markup Language (XML), will let business software programs communicate over the Internet, regardless of the programming model on which they're based.
		SOAP, which doesn't require any Microsoft software, is a network protocol that lets software objects developed using different languages communicate with each other.
		Currently, each programming model had its own proprietary communications protocol, so it's difficult for businesses that use EJBs and CORBA to exchange information and communicate with businesses that use COM.
