The value of downloading for database users and database producers

Abstract

The value of downloading for database users is identified. These values are for temporary storage of data to repackage information and long term storage in newly created internal databases. The impact of these activities on the database producers and online vendors is discussed. Two factors which affect the volume of downloading are the availability of the technology and the legal implications of downloading. Several pricing policy solutions are mentioned.
