The video work distribution apparatus 10 is constructed within a general distribution server having a hardware configuration of a CPU, ROM, RAM, HDD, and communication device.

A system administrator (operator) of the video work distribution system solicits video works from video work providers and registers them in the video content storage unit 15 of the video work distribution apparatus 10 . The operator will solicit works created freely by the video work providers according to their own intentions without setting restrictions on the field, content, time, production cost, etc. of the video work.
The video work provider selects the type of video work to be provided to the operator, either “purchase by the manager” (purchase support) or “receipt of compensation according to the viewing status of the member” (viewing fee support). .

The content management unit 16 manages the types of video works stored in the moving image content storage unit 15 and distributes them to the CDN 1 via the distribution management unit 17 .

The distribution management unit 17 manages and records data relating to distribution of video works to members via the CDN 1 and outputs necessary data to the log management unit 12 . The data includes the number of views by distribution subscribers of the video work.
